Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was made of gold, which was a rare and valuable material at the time, and it weighed 4.24 grams, which was a significant weight for a coin. This suggests that the Wajihid dynasty, which ruled the Arabian Peninsula during the 10th century, had a strong economy and was able to produce high-quality coins. Additionally, the fact that the coin features 'Umar bin Yusuf, also known as 'Uman, suggests that he was an important figure in the dynasty and that the coin was issued to commemorate his reign.
