Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Shahriyar b. Rustam, who was the ruler of the Bavand dynasty, a Persian dynasty that ruled over parts of modern-day Iran, Afghanistan, and Central Asia from the 4th to the 11th century. The Bavand dynasty was known for its rich culture, art, and architecture, and this coin is a reflection of that rich cultural heritage.
