Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of al-Mukhtár li-dín Alláh al-Qásim, who was the first Imam of the Rassid dynasty, which was a powerful and influential dynasty that ruled over the Arabian Peninsula for over a century. The coin's design and inscriptions reflect the Islamic faith and the importance of the Imamate, with the inscription "al-Mukhtár li-dín Alláh" meaning "the chosen one of God" in Arabic. This coin is a rare and valuable example of early Islamic coinage and is highly sought after by collectors and historians.
