Interesting fact
The coin is a rare and historically significant artifact from the Rassid dynasty, which ruled the Arabian Peninsula during the 10th century. One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an inscription in the Kufic script, which was a popular form of calligraphy during the early Islamic period. The inscription reads "al-Hádí ilá al-Haqq Yahyá" (meaning "the Guide to the Right Path, Yahya"), which refers to the name of the ruler who issued the coin, Yahya ibn Muhammad, also known as al-Hadi ila al-Haqq. This coin is a remarkable example of the artistry and craftsmanship of the time, and it provides valuable insight into the history and culture of the Rassid dynasty.
