Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Dinar - al-Amin 195 (811) from Abbasid Caliphate made of Gold weighing 4.17 g is that it was issued during the reign of Caliph Al-Amin, who was known for his generosity and lavish spending. As a result, coins minted during his reign were often made with higher gold content than those of previous or subsequent caliphs, making them highly sought after by collectors today.
