Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was made of gold and weighed 4.05 grams, which was a significant amount for a standard circulation coin at the time. This suggests that the Firuzanid dynasty, which ruled over Greater Iran, had a strong economy and was able to produce high-quality coins with valuable materials. Additionally, the fact that the coin features an image of al-Hasan b. al-Firuzan (Sari) suggests that he was an important figure in the dynasty and that the coin was issued to commemorate his reign.
