Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Fals - Nuh ibn Mansur ND (943-954) from Samanid dynasty made of Copper weighing 4.07 g 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 a crowned king, which was a common motif in pre-Islamic Persian coinage. This blending of styles reflects the cultural diversity of the Samanid dynasty, which was known for its tolerance and acceptance of different cultures and religions.
