Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Sultan al-Mansur Muhammad, who was known for his military campaigns and administrative reforms, and it features an inscription in Arabic that translates to "There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah" (لا إله إلا الله محمد رسول الله), reflecting the Islamic faith of the Tahirid dynasty.
