Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during a time of great political turmoil in the Abbasid Caliphate, as the rebels in the Sogdia Region were challenging the authority of the caliphate. Despite this, the coin still bears the name of the caliph, Al-Muqanna Hashim ibn Hakim, indicating that the rebels may have still recognized his authority to some extent.
