Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Ahmad b. 'Ali, who was the last ruler of the Ikhshidid dynasty, a Turkic dynasty that ruled over parts of modern-day Egypt, Syria, and Palestine during the 10th century. Despite being the last ruler, Ahmad b. 'Ali's coinage is relatively rare, making this Dirham a valuable piece for collectors.
