Interesting fact
The Muhammad ibn 'Ali (Jurjaniya) 356 (967) coin from the Ma'munid dynasty (Khwarezmian dynasties) is notable for its unique design, which features a stylized depiction of the crescent moon and a star on one side, and an inscription in Arabic on the other side that reads, "Muhammad ibn 'Ali, the Just, the Guide" (محمد بن علي العدل الهادي). This design was a departure from the standard coinage design used by previous Khwarezmian rulers, which typically featured an image of the ruler or a religious symbol. The use of the crescent moon and star motif may have been intended to symbolize the Islamic faith of the ruler and the people, and it is a distinctive feature that sets this coin apart from other coins of the time.
