Comment
Bach FG355aInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was made during the reign of Abu al-Misk Kafur, who was the first ruler of the Ikhshidid dynasty, which was a short-lived dynasty that emerged during the Abbasid Caliphate. The coin's design and inscriptions reflect the blending of Arabic and Persian cultures that characterized the Ikhshidid period.
