Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Ahmad II ibn Asad, who was the last ruler of the Samanid dynasty. Despite being the last ruler, he was able to issue a coin that has survived for over 1,000 years, which speaks to the durability and longevity of the coinage of the Samanid dynasty. Additionally, the fact that it was made of copper and weighs 4.15 grams suggests that it was a widely used and accessible form of currency during its time.
