Comment
Piedfort of KM#80Interesting 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 era. This era began in 622 CE when the Prophet Muhammad migrated from Mecca to Medina, and it is still used today as a way to date events in many Muslim-majority countries. The coin's design likely reflects this significance, with the silver piedfort (a type of coin that is thicker and heavier than a standard coin) featuring an image of the Kaaba, a sacred site in Mecca that is considered the holiest place in Islam.
