Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Amir bin Dauod, who was the last ruler of the Tahirid dynasty in Yemen. Despite being made of silver, the coin was not widely accepted in trade due to its low purity level, which was only 50%. This led to the coin being largely discarded and replaced by other forms of currency, making it a rare and valuable collector's item today.
