Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Taj al-Dawla Abu’l-Husayn Ahmad, 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 14th century. The coin's minting date, 373 (983), suggests that it was minted in the 4th century AH (983 CE), which was during the reign of this particular ruler.
