Interesting fact
The Zaydi Imams of Hawsam (Alid dynasty) were a branch of the Alid dynasty that ruled over parts of modern-day Yemen and Saudi Arabia from the 9th to the 11th centuries. The coin , the 1 Dirham - Ja'far b. Muhammad 341 (952), was issued during the reign of Ja'far b. Muhammad, who was the third Zaydi Imam of Hawsam. This coin is significant because it highlights the economic and cultural achievements of the Zaydi Imams of Hawsam, who were known for their agricultural and trade networks, as well as their patronage of arts and literature. The fact that this coin was made of silver and weighed 3.99 grams also speaks to the advanced metallurgical techniques and economic prosperity of the region during that time.
