Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Mutâ'in b. Waththab, who was a prominent leader of the Numayrid dynasty, which was a Shia Islamic state that existed in the 10th and 11th centuries in what is now modern-day Syria and Lebanon. The coin's design features the name of the Fatimid caliph al-Mustansir, indicating the close ties between the Numayrids and the Fatimid Caliphate, which was a powerful Islamic empire that ruled over much of North Africa and the Middle East during that time.
