Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of a mythical creature called the "Bakh Bakh," which is a Persian mythological creature that resembles a dragon or a griffin. The coin's design is a unique blend of Arab and Sasanian influences, reflecting the cultural exchange and fusion that occurred during the Abbasid Caliphate.
