Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Sharaf al-Dawla Abu'l-Fawaris Shirdhil, who was the ruler of the Buyid dynasty in Kerman, Iran, from 973 to 983 AD. The Buyid dynasty was a Shia Muslim dynasty that ruled much of modern-day Iran, Iraq, and parts of Central Asia from the 10th to the 11th century. The coin's design and inscriptions reflect the cultural and religious 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.
