Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Majd al-Dawla (al-Muhammadiya) in 392 AH (1002 CE), which was a time of significant cultural and scientific achievements in the Islamic world. The Buyid dynasty, which ruled over much of modern-day Iran, Iraq, and parts of Central Asia, was known for its patronage of scholars, poets, and artists, and this coin may have been used to finance some of these cultural endeavors.
