Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was made during the reign of Ahmad b. Ya'qub, who was a member of the Tulunid dynasty, which was a short-lived but significant dynasty that ruled over much of the Middle East and North Africa during the 9th century. The coin's design and inscriptions reflect the cultural and religious influences of the time, and its copper composition was a common material used for coinage during this period.
