Comment

"1492K AR dirham, often debased

RR [Very Rare]

Known struck at Janza 466, but almost always without legible mint or date. The name Fadl never appears on the coins, which cite only various portions of his titulature. Citing the Seljuq Malikshah as overlord."

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Fadl III, who was known for his military campaigns and territorial expansion, and the coin's design may reflect the influence of the Seljuk Empire, which was a powerful force in the region at the time.
