Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Muhammad b. Tahir, who was a member of the Tahirid dynasty that ruled over Greater Iran, including modern-day Iran, Afghanistan, and parts of Central Asia, during the 9th century. The Tahirid dynasty was known for its cultural and scientific achievements, and this coin is a testament to the advanced minting techniques and artistic skills of the time.
