Interesting fact
The Muhtajid dynasty, also known as the Samanid dynasty, was a Persian dynasty that ruled from 819 to 999 CE. The dynasty was founded by Saman Khuda, a Persian general, and it was known for its support of the arts, literature, and science. During their rule, the Samanids minted coins with intricate designs and inscriptions, such as the 1 Dirham coin , which features the name of the ruler Ahmad b. Muhammad (al-Saghaniyan) and the year 400 (1010 CE) in the Islamic calendar. These coins were used for trade and commerce throughout the region and have become valuable collector's items today.
