Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Fals - Nuh b. Nasr 331-342 (943-954) from Samanid dynasty made of Copper is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and pre-Islamic influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features the traditional Islamic declaration of faith, "There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah," while the reverse side features an image of the Persian king, Nuh b. Nasr, in a style reminiscent of pre-Islamic Persian coins. This blending of styles and influences reflects the cultural diversity and religious tolerance of the Samanid dynasty, which ruled over a vast territory that included present-day Iran, Afghanistan, and parts of Central Asia.
