Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of al-Malik ar-Rahim Abu Nasr Khusra Firuz, who was the ruler of the Buyid dynasty in Iraq during the 11th century. The Buyid dynasty was a Shia Muslim dynasty that ruled over much of the Middle East and Central Asia during the 10th to 12th centuries. The coin's design and inscriptions reflect the cultural and religious influences of the time, and its silver content and weight suggest that it was a widely used and valued form of currency in the region.
