Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the "Four-Pointed Star" Dirham coin is that it features a unique design element - a four-pointed star - which is not commonly found on coins from the Shaddadid dynasty. This star symbol may have been used to represent the four caliphs of Islam, or it may have had a different meaning specific to the Shaddadid dynasty. The use of this symbol on the coin adds to its historical and cultural significance, making it a fascinating piece for collectors and historians to study.
