Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Farhad ibn Mardawij, who was a powerful military leader and statesman of the Ziyarid dynasty, which ruled over much of northern Iran and parts of Azerbaijan during the 10th and 11th centuries. Despite being a vassal of the Kakwayhid Muhammad b. Dushmanzar and the Buwayhid Majd al-Dawla, Farhad ibn Mardawij was able to maintain a significant degree of autonomy and issue his own coins, such as this 1 Dirham coin made of silver. This coin is a testament to the economic and political influence of the Ziyarid dynasty during this period.
