Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was used as a form of currency during the Abbasid Caliphate, which was a powerful Islamic empire that spanned from the 8th to the 13th century. The coin features an inscription in Arabic that reads "Al-'Abbasiyah" (meaning "of the Abbasids") and "Halil" (meaning "the pure"), indicating its connection to the Abbasid Caliphate and the Islamic tradition of using pure silver in coinage.
