Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of political upheaval, specifically during the Abbasid Revolution, which saw the overthrow of the Umayyad Caliphate and the establishment of the Abbasid Caliphate. This coin, minted by the Umayyad rebels in Sijistan, is a tangible reminder of the political and social changes that were taking place in the region during that time period.
