Interesting fact
The Rawwadid dynasty, which issued the Dirham coin , was a Muslim dynasty that ruled over a region in the Caucasus region of Eurasia, specifically in present-day Azerbaijan and Armenia, from the 9th to the 11th centuries. The Rawwadid dynasty was known for its rich cultural and scientific achievements, and its rulers were patrons of the arts and sciences. One of the most notable achievements of the Rawwadid dynasty was the development of a unique style of architecture, which blended elements of Islamic and pre-Islamic Caucasian architectural traditions. This style can be seen in many of the surviving buildings and monuments from the Rawwadid period, including mosques, palaces, and tombs.
