Comment
Citing the Buwayhid ruler Baha’ al-Dawla.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Shihab al-Dawla Abu Darra, who was a prominent ruler of the Uqaylid dynasty in the 11th century. 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 cultural and religious influences of the time, and its silver content makes it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
