Comment
citing b. Maymun and al-HawariInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the Fals - al Mahdi (Ramhurmuz) 165 (782) coin from the Abbasid Caliphate is that it was made of copper, which was a common material used for coinage during that time period. However, it's worth noting that the use of copper for coins was not unique to the Abbasid Caliphate, as many other civilizations also used copper for their coinage. Additionally, the fact that the coin weighs 2.43g is not particularly interesting or unique, as the weight of coins can vary depending on a number of factors, such as the size and thickness of the coin. Overall, while the Fals - al Mahdi (Ramhurmuz) 165 (782) coin is certainly a valuable and interesting historical artifact, its composition and weight are not particularly noteworthy.
