Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Dirham - al-Mansur (Madinat al-Salam) ND (754-775) from Abbasid Caliphate made of Silver weighing 2.67 g is that it was used as a form of currency during the reign of Al-Mansur, who was the second Abbasid Caliph and ruled from 754 to 775 CE. This coin was minted in the city of Madinat al-Salam, which was the capital of the Abbasid Caliphate at the time. The use of silver in the coin's production was a deliberate choice, as it was a valuable and widely accepted metal at the time, and it helped to establish the coin's value and legitimacy.
