Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Ahmad I ibn Asad, 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, Iran, and Pakistan, from 864 to 907 AD. The coin features the name of the ruler and the date of issue in both Arabic and Persian, reflecting the cultural and linguistic diversity of the Samanid Empire.
