Comment
"1906 AE Fals
R [Rare]
‘Badkin’ (proposed reading of the name) was an unknown vassal of Abu Bakr b. Muhammad, who is cited on reverse … The obverse bears the ruler’s name in a double circle, with a marginal inscription around, still undeciphered as only a few letters are visible on individual specimens."
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was made of copper, which was a common material used for coins in the Ildegizid dynasty. Copper coins were widely used for small transactions and were an important part of the economy during that time.
