Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Abu Mansur al-Mu'izzi, who was the founder of the Qarmatid dynasty, a Shia Muslim dynasty that ruled over parts of the Middle East and Persia from the 10th to the 12th century. The Qarmatids were known for their military campaigns and their efforts to spread Shia Islam throughout their territories. The coin itself is made of silver and weighs 4.61 grams, which was a significant weight for a coin at that time.
