Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of al-Hasan b. Zayd, who was a member of the Alid dynasty, which was a Shia Muslim dynasty that ruled Tabaristan (present-day Iran) from 864 to 928 CE. The coin's design and inscriptions reflect the dynasty's Shia affiliation, with the phrase "al-Hasan b. Zayd" written in Arabic on one side and the name of the mint city (Jurjan) and the year of minting (268 AH/881 CE) on the other. This coin is a rare and valuable example of Islamic numismatics and provides insight into the cultural and religious practices of the Alid dynasty.
