One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Ya'qub b. al-Layth, who was the founder of the Saffarid dynasty, which was a Persian dynasty that ruled over parts of modern-day Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan from the 9th to the 11th century. The coin's design and inscriptions reflect the cultural and religious influences of the time, and its silver content makes it a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
