Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Badr b. Hasanwayh, who was a prominent ruler of the Hasanwayhid dynasty, which was a Shia Muslim dynasty that ruled over parts of modern-day Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. The coin's design features the name of the ruler and the date of minting, which is 391 AH (1001 CE), indicating that it was minted during the early years of Badr b. Hasanwayh's reign. Additionally, the coin is made of silver, which was a valuable and widely used metal for coinage during that time period.
