Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Al-Mansur, the second Abbasid Caliph, who was known for his military campaigns and administrative reforms. The coin features the name of the governor, Ismail bin Ali, who was responsible for the minting of coins in the region. The use of copper as the material for the coin was a common practice during this time period, as it was a readily available and affordable metal. Despite its small weight, the coin still held significant value in the economy of the Abbasid Caliphate.
