Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of 'Ali ibn Ma'mun I, who was the ruler of the Khwarezmid Empire, a powerful state that controlled much of Central Asia and parts of Persia during the 10th century. The coin features an inscription in Arabic that reads "al-sultanu al-azam" or "the great king" in English, reflecting the powerful status of the Khwarezmid rulers at the time.
