Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was made during the reign of Asad II, who was a powerful amir of the Samanid dynasty, which was a Persian dynasty that ruled from 819 to 999 CE. The coin features an inscription in Arabic that includes the name of the amir, Asad II, and the date of minting, 279 AH (892 CE). This coin is a rare example of the currency used during this time period and provides valuable insight into the economic and political systems of the Samanid Empire.
