Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Isma'il b. Ahmad, also known as Ismail ibn Ahmad, who was the Samanid amir (prince) of Bukhara (in present-day Uzbekistan) from 893 to 908 AD. The Samanid dynasty was a Persian dynasty that ruled parts of Central Asia, including Bukhara, from the 9th to the 11th century. The coin's design and inscriptions reflect the cultural and religious influences of the time, with Arabic script and Islamic symbols featured prominently.
