Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the "Sudaysi" Dirham coin is that it was issued during the reign of Caliph al-Rhadi, who was known for his efforts to reform the Abbasid Caliphate's economy and military. The coin's design and inscriptions reflect this focus on reform, featuring a new style of calligraphy and imagery that was meant to promote the Caliphate's ideals of justice and prosperity.
