Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Dirham - Ridwan ND (1095-1113) from Seljuq Emirate of Syria (Seljuq dynasty) made of Silver weighing 1.92 g is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Byzantine influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features an inscription in Arabic that reads "Al-Sultanu Al-Azam" (The Greatest Sultan), while the reverse side features an image of a crowned lion, which was a common motif in Byzantine coinage. This blending of styles reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred between the Seljuq Empire and the Byzantine Empire during this time period.
