Interesting fact
The interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued by the Kharijite rebels, who were a group of Muslims who opposed the Umayyad caliphate and sought to establish a more just and equitable society. Despite their rebellion, the coin still bears the name of the Umayyad caliph, Anonymous 133 (751), indicating that the rebels still recognized the caliph's authority. This coin is a rare example of a coin issued by a rebel group that still maintained ties to the established power structure.
