With the name of the Caliph al-Muqtadir billahInteresting 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 in 999 CE, and this coin serves as a reminder of the once-great empire's influence and legacy.
