Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Dinar - al-Muttaqi (Donative type) ND (940-944) from Abbasid Caliphate made of Gold weighing 4.14 g is that it features an intricate design, including an inscription in Arabic that translates to "Al-Muttaqi, the Abbasid Caliph" on one side, and an image of the caliph himself on the other. This coin was used as a means of exchange and store of value during the Abbasid Caliphate, which was a powerful and influential empire that spanned across much of the Middle East and North Africa during the 10th century.
