Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a rebellion against Ziyadat Allah I, the ruler of the Aghlabid dynasty, which controlled much of North Africa and parts of the Mediterranean coast during the 9th century. The coin's design and inscriptions reflect the political and religious tensions of the time, with the anonymous minting suggesting that the rebels may have sought to distance themselves from the ruling authority. Despite its historical significance, the coin remains a rare and valuable artifact, offering a glimpse into a tumultuous period in North African history.
