Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Fals - Nasr I b. Ahmad ND (864-892) from Samanid dynasty made of Copper weighing 1.8 g is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and pre-Islamic influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features the Arabic inscription "La ilaha illallah" (There is no god but Allah) and the reverse side features a stylized depiction of a lion, which was a common motif in pre-Islamic Persian coinage. This blending of styles and symbols reflects the cultural diversity and rich history of the Samanid dynasty, which ruled over a vast territory that included parts of modern-day Iran, Afghanistan, and Central Asia.
