Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Rukn al-Dawla, who was the ruler of the Buyid dynasty, a Shia Muslim dynasty that ruled over much of modern-day Iran, Iraq, and parts of Turkey, from 947 to 976 AD. The coin features an inscription in Arabic that reads "Rukn al-Dawla, Amir al-Mu'minin" (Rukn al-Dawla, Commander of the Faithful), indicating his status as a religious and political leader. The coin's gold content and intricate design also reflect the wealth and sophistication of the Buyid dynasty during this period.
