Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the names of both Abdallah ibn Tahir and Namij Jabuya, indicating that they were co-rulers of the Syr Darya Oghuz state (also known as Choresmia) during the period 830-845. This is a unique feature among coins of that time and region, as it highlights the shared leadership of the state during that era.
