Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during a time of significant political and social change in the Umayyad Caliphate. The Tribal federation of Tanukh, which issued this coin, was a group of tribes that had recently converted to Islam and were seeking to assert their independence and power within the caliphate. The coin's design and inscriptions reflect this, with the use of Arabic script and Islamic imagery, while also showcasing the tribe's unique cultural influences. This coin is a fascinating example of the diverse and dynamic nature of the early Islamic world.
