Comment

Piedfort of KM#81

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the 15th century of the Islamic calendar, also known as the Hijrah century. The coin's design reflects this theme, featuring an image of the Kaaba, a significant Islamic monument located in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. The use of silver in the coin's composition and the unique Piedfort minting technique, which creates a thicker and heavier coin than usual, add to its distinctiveness and collectibility.
