Interesting fact

The Rasulid dynasty, which ruled over parts of modern-day Yemen and Saudi Arabia, was known for its rich cultural and scientific achievements. One of the notable rulers of the dynasty, an-Násir Ahmad, who ruled from 1442 to 1443, was a patron of the arts and sciences. During his reign, he encouraged the translation of important works from other civilizations, such as the works of Aristotle and Euclid, into Arabic. This coin, which was minted during his reign, is a testament to the cultural and intellectual achievements of the Rasulid dynasty.
