Interesting fact
The Dirham coin , which was issued during the reign of Al-Ma'mun (813-833 CE) of the Abbasid Caliphate, features an inscription that includes the name of the caliph, the mint location, and the date of issue. The inscription on the coin is written in Arabic and reads: "Al-Ma'mun, Amir al-Mu'minin, Sanah 813" (meaning "Al-Ma'mun, Commander of the Faithful, Year 813"). This inscription not only identifies the ruler and the year of issue but also serves as a declaration of the coin's legitimacy and authenticity.
