Interesting fact
The Dirham coin from the Ghaznavid dynasty, which was issued during the reign of Isma'il (997-998 AD), features a unique design element - a small flan, also known as a "Farwan" in numismatic terms. This coin is made of silver and weighs 2.8 grams. The use of a small flan in the design of this coin was a deliberate choice made by the mint officials to differentiate it from other coins of the same era. This feature makes it an interesting and distinctive piece for collectors and historians to study and admire.
