通过核活化技术和电感耦合等离子体质谱法结合紫外激光对公元7世纪至12世纪阿拉伯帝国发行的大量金币进行分析，发现根据地区和时期，使用了几种不同的供应来源。
本文的目的是指出阿拉伯帝国近东和中东铸币局的黄金流通情况，并与帝国其他地区，如北非、伊比利亚半岛和西西里的铸币局的政策进行比较。
通过特征微量元素对不同金矿的鉴定表明，古代金矿的回收利用，以及公元750年后，整个阿拉伯帝国铸造了不同的新金矿：埃及型、东北型和西非型。对同一时期、同一地区的少量银的分析也表明，公元750年以后矿石供应发生了变化。
The analysis by nuclear activation techniques and by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry combined with an UV laser of a large number of gold coins issued in the Arab Empire from the seventh to the 12th century ad showed that several different supplying sources were used, according to the region and to the period.
The aim of this paper is to point out the circulation of gold in the Near and Middle Eastern mints of the Arab Empire and to make a parallel with the mints’ policies running in the other regions of the Empire, such as North Africa, the Iberian Peninsula and the Sicily.
The identification of different gold ores by means of characteristic trace elements indicated recycling of the ancient coinage and, after ad 750, the minting in the entire Arab Empire of different new gold ores: Egyptian type, North Eastern type and West African type. The analysis of a small number of silver coins from the same periods and regions also showed a change in the ore supply after ad 750.
