Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Amir Mu’izz al-dawla Ahmad b. Buwayh, who was a prominent ruler of the Buyid dynasty, which was a Shia Muslim dynasty that ruled over much of the Middle East and Central Asia during the 10th and 11th centuries. The coin's minting date falls between 945 and 967 CE, a time of significant political and cultural achievements for the Buyid dynasty.
