Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of 'Abd al-Wahab (Tahirt) of the Rustamid dynasty, which was a dynasty that ruled over parts of North Africa and Sicily during the 9th and 10th centuries. The Rustamid dynasty was known for its unique blend of Arab, Berber, and Byzantine cultural influences, which is reflected in the design of this coin.
