Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Abu 'Ali Muhammad II, who was the ruler of the Samanid Empire, a powerful Persian dynasty that ruled over much of Central Asia and parts of modern-day Afghanistan and Iran. The coin features an inscription in Arabic that includes the name of the ruler and the date of issue, which corresponds to the Islamic year 377 (987 CE). Despite being made of copper, a relatively common metal, this coin is considered valuable among collectors due to its historical significance and rarity.
