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 and influential empire that spanned across much of the Middle East and Central Asia during the 8th and 9th centuries. The coin's design and inscriptions reflect the cultural and religious influences of the time, and its silver content made it a valuable and durable form of currency for everyday transactions.
