Answer:

Silver derhams

Explanation:

A ship of Arab Muslims who had settled in Sri Lanka carrying trade luggage and gifts for Hajjaj bin Yusuf. When it reached near the coast of Debal, it was plundered by pirates.

As governor of Iraq and the east, al-Hajjaj instituted key reforms. Among these were the minting of silver dirhams with strictly Muslim religious formulas instead of the coins' traditional, pre-Islamic Sasanian design; changing the language of the dīwān (bureaucracy) of Iraq from Persian to Arabic; and the introduction of a uniform version of the Quran.
