Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Adud al-Dawla, who was a prominent ruler of the Buyid dynasty, which was a Shia Muslim dynasty that ruled over much of modern-day Iran, Iraq, and parts of Central Asia from the 10th to the 11th century. The coin's design and inscriptions reflect the cultural and religious influences of the time, and its silver content and weight suggest that it was a widely used and valued form of currency during its era.
