Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of 'Umar b. 'Abd al-'Aziz, who was a prominent caliph of the Abbasid Caliphate and known for his military campaigns and administrative reforms. The coin's design and inscriptions reflect the influence of the Dulafid dynasty, which was a branch of the Abbasid Caliphate that ruled over much of modern-day Iran and Central Asia during the 9th and 10th centuries. The use of silver in the coin's minting was also a common practice during this time period, as it was a valuable and widely accepted metal for currency.
