Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Nasr II b. Ahmad, who was the last ruler of the Samanid dynasty. Despite his efforts to maintain the empire's power, the Samanid dynasty eventually collapsed due to internal conflicts and external threats. This coin serves as a reminder of the once-powerful empire and its rich history.
