Comment
This issue by the Caliph al-Ma’mun was an attempt to unify Sunni and Shite Islam.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Al-Ma'mun, who was the seventh Abbasid caliph and ruled from 813 to 833 CE. He was known for his military campaigns, administrative reforms, and patronage of scholarship and the arts. The coin's design, which features the name of the heir al-Rida, reflects the importance of succession and dynasty in the Abbasid Caliphate. Additionally, the use of silver in the coin's minting indicates the value placed on this precious metal during that time period.
