Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the "Sudaysi" Dirham coin is that it was issued during the reign of Caliph al-Muttaqi, who was known for his efforts to reform the Abbasid Caliphate's economy and military. Despite his efforts, the Caliphate continued to decline during his reign, and the coin's value likely fluctuated as a result.
