Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Dirham coin from the Sulaymanid dynasty is that it features an inscription in both Arabic and Kufic script, indicating the coin's denomination and the name of the ruler, Al-Qasim ibn 'Isa. This blend of scripts is a distinctive feature of Islamic coinage during this period and reflects the cultural and religious influences of the time.
