Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of the Umayyad caliph, Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan, on one side, and an image of the Sassanian king, Abd al-Aziz ibn Abd Allah, on the other side. This coin is a rare example of a coin that was issued during a time of political tension and conflict between the Umayyad and Sassanian empires, and it highlights the cultural exchange and influence that occurred between the two powers during this period.
