Interesting fact
The Ziyarid dynasty, which ruled Tabaristan (present-day Iran) from 934 to 1090, was known for its rich cultural and artistic heritage. One interesting fact about the 1 Dirham coin from this dynasty is that it features an intricate design on its reverse side, which includes a stylized representation of a lion attacking a deer, surrounded by foliage and geometric patterns. This design not only showcases the artistic skills of the Ziyarid craftsmen but also reflects the cultural influences of the region, which was known for its rich wildlife and natural beauty.
