Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Nur al-Din Muhammad II, who was the ruler of the Alamut State, a Nizari Ismaili state that was established in the 11th century in Greater Iran. The coin features the name of the ruler and the date of issue, which is 591 AH (1195 CE), indicating that it was minted during his reign. The use of silver as the material for the coin also highlights the importance of this precious metal in the economy of the region during that time.
