Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of significant cultural and scientific achievement in the Islamic world. The Abbasid Caliphate, which ruled from 750 to 1258, was known for its advancements in mathematics, astronomy, medicine, and philosophy, and its capital city, Baghdad, was a major center of learning and intellectual inquiry. This coin, minted in the city of Halab (modern-day Aleppo, Syria), is a tangible reminder of the economic and cultural exchange that took place during this period.
