Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Al-Harith ibn Mansur, who was the ruler of the Samanid dynasty, which was a Persian dynasty that ruled parts of Central Asia, Afghanistan, and Iran from the 9th to the 11th century. The coin features an inscription citing Ghaznavid overlord Mas'ud I, indicating the political ties between the two dynasties during that time.
