Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Sharaf al-Dawla Muslim, who was the founder of the Uqaylid dynasty and ruled over the city of Aleppo in the 11th century. Despite being a relatively small coin, it was made of billon, which is an alloy of silver and copper, indicating that it was still a valuable and important form of currency during that time period.
