Offa's coin - isn't that Mercia and not Wales?

I removed this bit:

The first evidence of Muslims in Wales is King Offa's coin. The coin, minted in 774CE has the Islamic declaration of faith in Arabic on the front.^{[citation needed]}

Mercia, best as I can tell, was in the modern English Midlands, and an Anglo-Saxon kingdom. It bordered Wales, it fought with the Welsh, but I don't see how an Islamic-influenced coin in Mercia proves anything for Wales. MatthewVanitas (talk) 18:33, 7 August 2012 (UTC)Reply
