Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Nasr b. Ahmad, who was a powerful emir of the Samanid dynasty, which was a Persian dynasty that ruled from 819 to 999 CE. The coin features an inscription in Arabic that reads "al-sultanu al-azam" or "the great king" in English, which reflects the power and influence of the Samanid Empire at the time.
