Https://www.zeno.ru/showgallery.php?cat=14355Interesting fact
The Dirham coin was issued during the reign of Caliph Al-Rashid, who was known for his military campaigns and administrative reforms. One of his notable achievements was the establishment of a centralized minting system, which allowed for the production of uniform coins across the empire. This coin, bearing the name "al-Rashid" and the year of minting (167-176 AH), is a testament to the efficiency of this system and the standardization of coinage during the Abbasid Caliphate.
