Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Khalaf b. Nasr, who was a prominent ruler of the Saffarid dynasty in the 11th century. The Saffarid dynasty was known for its military campaigns and cultural achievements, and this coin is a testament to the economic and monetary systems that were in place during that time. The fact that it was made of Billon, a type of alloy that was commonly used in coinage during the medieval period, and weighs 4.27 grams, suggests that it was a widely used and circulated coin during its time.
