Interesting fact
The Ahmad b. 'Isa 293 (906) Dirham coin from the Sulaymanid dynasty was made of silver, which was a significant departure from the previous coins of the dynasty, which were made of copper. This change in material was likely due to a shortage of copper or a desire to showcase the wealth and power of the Sulaymanid Empire. The use of silver also gave the coin a higher value and made it more durable, as silver is less prone to corrosion than copper.
