Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the Arabic inscription "Doriba fi" which translates to "He struck it" in English. This inscription is significant because it indicates that the coin was struck by the ruler, Ali III, himself, signifying his direct involvement in the minting process.
