Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Nur al-Dawla Abu Mus'ab, who was the founder of the Uqaylid dynasty and ruled from 1005 to 1011. The Uqaylid dynasty was a Shia Muslim dynasty that ruled over parts of modern-day Iraq, Syria, and Turkey. The coin's design and inscriptions reflect the religious and political influences of the time, and its silver content and weight suggest that it was a widely used and valued form of currency in the region.
