Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during a time of significant political and economic change in the Abbasid Caliphate. The al-munajjah (Abbasid Governors) series of coins was introduced during the reign of Caliph al-Mu'tadid (892-902 CE), who sought to centralize power and reform the administration of the empire. The coinage of this period reflects the efforts of the Abbasid government to maintain control over the empire's vast territories and to promote economic stability. Despite the challenges of the time, the Abbasid Caliphate continued to produce coins of high artistic and technical quality, such as this Fals, which features intricate calligraphy and ornamentation.
