Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Dirham - al-Muqtadir (Donative type) ND (907-932) from Abbasid Caliphate made of Silver weighing 2.96 g is that it was issued during the reign of Al-Muqtadir, who was the 15th Abbasid caliph and ruled from 908 to 932 AD. This coin was part of a new currency system introduced by Al-Muqtadir to replace the old coinage system, which had become debased due to excessive issuance. The Dirham was a significant improvement over the earlier coins, with a higher silver content and a more consistent weight, which helped to stabilize the economy and promote trade.
