Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was made during a time of significant economic and political change in the Abbasid Caliphate. The Abbasid Caliphate was known for its strong economy, and the introduction of new coins like the Fals helped to facilitate trade and commerce. However, during the reign of Al-Mansur (754-775 CE), the Caliphate faced economic challenges, including inflation and debasement of the currency. Despite these challenges, the Fals remained a widely used coin throughout the Abbasid Caliphate, and its design and production continued to evolve over time.
