Interesting fact
The Kurdish dynasty, which issued this coin, was known for its unique blend of Islamic and pre-Islamic Kurdish traditions. The ruler, Jastan b. Rabib al-Dawla, was a prominent figure in Kurdish history and is remembered for his military campaigns and administrative reforms. The coin itself is a reflection of the cultural and religious diversity of the time, with its use of Billon (a silver-copper alloy) and its weight of 4.38 grams, which was a common weight for coins in the region during that period.
