Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Al-Muntasir Da'ud ibn Abdallah (Sa'da) in 659 AH (1261 AD), which was a time of significant political and economic change in the Arabian Peninsula. The Rassid dynasty, which ruled the region at the time, was known for its strong trade networks and cultural achievements, and this coin may have been used in transactions with merchants and traders from across the region. Additionally, the fact that it was made of silver suggests that it may have had a high value and been used for large transactions or as a store of wealth.
