Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of al-Mahdí-li-dín Alláh al-Husayn, who was the fourth ruler of the Rassid dynasty, which was a powerful and influential dynasty that ruled over the Arabian Peninsula from the 10th to the 13th century. The coin's design and inscriptions reflect the cultural and religious values of the time, and its silver content makes it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
