Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Sultan al-Dawla, who was a prominent ruler 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 14th century. The coin's design and inscriptions reflect the cultural and religious influences of the time, and its silver content makes it a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
