Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued by the Qarmatid dynasty, which was a Shia Muslim dynasty that ruled over a large part of the Arabian Peninsula, including present-day Bahrain, Qatar, and parts of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, during the 10th and 11th centuries. The Qarmatids were known for their progressive and tolerant policies, and their coins often featured unique and intricate designs, such as the 1 Dinar coin featuring Umar ibn Muhammad 357 (968).
