Interesting fact
The coin , the 1 Dirham - Mumahhid al-Dawla Sa'id (Mayyafariqin) 399 (1009) from the Marwanid dynasty (Kurdish dynasty), is interesting because it was made of silver and weighs 4.12 grams. This is notable because silver coins were not as common during this time period, and the weight of the coin indicates that it was a significant denomination. Additionally, the fact that it was issued by a Kurdish dynasty adds to its historical significance, as the Kurdish people have a rich cultural heritage that is often overlooked in historical accounts.
