Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was made of copper, which was a common material used for coinage during the Abbasid Caliphate. The use of copper for coins was preferred because it was abundant, durable, and had a low intrinsic value, making it ideal for minting large quantities of coins. The fact that this coin was made of copper suggests that it was likely used for everyday transactions and was widely circulated among the population.
