- Citing governor Harb b. Ziyad and the heir to the caliphate, al-Mahdi Muhammad, -Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Al-Mansur, who was the second Abbasid Caliph and ruled from 754 to 775 CE. He was known for his military campaigns and his efforts to centralize the government, and this coin was likely used to finance his military campaigns and other government expenses.
