Interesting fact
The coin is quite interesting! One fascinating fact about it is that it was issued during a time of great turmoil in the region. The Samanid rebels, who minted this coin, were fighting against the Abbasid Caliphate, which had been in power for over 500 years. This coin is a tangible reminder of the political and social upheaval that was taking place in the region during the 10th century.
