Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Khusraw II, who was the last great king of the Sasanian Empire, on one side, and an Arabic inscription on the other, indicating the coin's use during the Umayyad Caliphate. This blending of Persian and Arabic elements reflects the cultural exchange and synthesis that occurred during this period of history.
