Interesting fact
The Saffarid dynasty, which issued this coin, was a Persian dynasty that ruled over a large part of the Islamic world, including modern-day Iran, Afghanistan, and parts of Central Asia, from 861 to 1003 AD. The dynasty was founded by Ya'qub ibn al-Layth al-Saffar, a former slave-soldier, who rose to power through his military prowess and eventually established an independent kingdom. The Saffarid dynasty is known for its cultural and scientific achievements, including the development of Persian poetry, music, and astronomy.
