Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Isma'il II bin Nuh II, who was a prominent ruler of the Samanid dynasty, which was a Persian dynasty that ruled from 819 to 999 CE. The coin's minting date, 391 AH (1001 CE), falls within the period of Isma'il II's reign, which lasted from 976 to 981 CE. This coin is a rare and valuable artifact from that time period, providing a glimpse into the economic and cultural practices of the Samanid Empire.
