Interesting fact
The Dirham coin , issued during the reign of Al-Hadi, was part of a significant monetary reform implemented by the Abbasid Caliphate. The reform aimed to standardize coinage across the empire and improve the quality of silver coins. The Dirham was one of the first coins to be issued in this new system, and it became the standard currency unit for the empire. This coin's design and weight were carefully controlled, ensuring consistency across the empire and facilitating trade. This fact highlights the importance of this coin in the history of currency and trade in the region.
