Filastin 292hInteresting fact
The coin is quite interesting! One fascinating fact about it is that it was issued during the reign of Ibrahim b. Khumarawayh, who was the governor of Filastin (also known as Palestine) during the Tulunid dynasty. This dynasty was known for its cultural and artistic achievements, and it's reflected in the coin's design. The coin features intricate Arabic calligraphy and a beautiful pattern of circles and stars, which was a common motif in Islamic art during that time period. It's a great example of how art and history can come together in a single object!
