Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Sharaf al-Dawla Abul Fawaris, who was a member of the Buyid dynasty, a Shia Muslim dynasty that ruled over much of modern-day Iran, Iraq, and parts of Central Asia from the 10th to the 11th century. The coin features an inscription in Arabic that includes the name of the ruler and the date of issue, which suggests that it was used as a means of circulating currency during that time period. Additionally, the fact that it is made of silver suggests that it was a valuable and durable form of currency.
