Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Ahmad ibn Asad, who was the Samanid amir (prince) of Samarqand from 842 to 864 CE. The Samanid dynasty was a Persian dynasty that ruled parts of Central Asia, including Samarqand, from the 9th to the 11th century. The coin's design and inscriptions reflect the cultural and religious influences of the time, including the use of Arabic script and Islamic symbols.
