Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of the Abbasid Caliph Sulayman, who ruled from 754 to 763 AD, on one side, and an image of the Sasanian king Ardashir I, who ruled from 224 to 242 AD, on the other side. This coin is a rare example of a coin that combines the imagery of two different empires and rulers, highlighting the complex cultural and historical context of the region during that time.
