Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Christian imagery. The obverse side of the coin depicts the Arabic inscription "La ilaha illallah" (There is no god but Allah) and the reverse side features a cross, which is a symbol of Christianity. This blending of religious symbols reflects the cultural diversity and religious tolerance of the Hamdanid dynasty, which ruled over a region that was home to both Muslims and Christians.
