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 Islamic empire that spanned from North Africa to Central Asia during its peak in the 8th and 9th centuries. The coin's design and inscriptions reflect the cultural and religious values of the time, with Arabic script and Islamic symbols featured prominently. Despite its small size and relatively low value, this coin played an important role in facilitating trade and commerce within the empire and beyond.
