Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Ahmad ibn Mahmud, who was the last ruler of the Ziyarid dynasty, which was a Persian dynasty that ruled over parts of modern-day Iran and Azerbaijan from the 930s to the 1090s. Despite being the last ruler, Ahmad ibn Mahmud's coinage is relatively rare, making this coin a unique piece of history.
