Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Mam'un b. Ahmad, who was the ruler of the Hashimid dynasty in Islamic Caucasia from 971 to 997. The Hashimid dynasty was a local dynasty that ruled over the region of Dagestan in the North Caucasus, and this coin is a rare example of the currency used during that time period.
