Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Dirham coin is that it was issued during the reign of Caliph al-Mansur, who was known for his military campaigns and administrative reforms. The coin's design features the name of the caliph and the mint location, al-Basra, in Arabic script. Additionally, the coin's silver content and weight were carefully regulated to ensure consistency and accuracy in trade and commerce.
