Can you explain to us continetal Europe people what is the story with this plate? Why is it so expensive and what does SPR 786 mean?

[ac/dennis]

Yeah, can you explain please?

[Mobster]

786 is a very special number to muslims. The paticular plate is not a date related plate and therefore to the right person, worth loads.

[DICK]

786 is meant to be the number of 'bismillahirahmaniraheem (In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful - which is the first verse of the Quraan)

In arabic, each letter has a number
alif -1
bee 2
etc

if you add the numbers up, for bismillah in arabic, you get 786.
That is where the number came from.
