Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of political upheaval, specifically the Abbasid Revolution, which saw the overthrow of the Umayyad Caliphate and the establishment of the Abbasid Caliphate. This coin, minted in the name of Sulayman b. Abd Allah, who was a prominent military leader during this period, serves as a tangible reminder of the significant political and social changes that were taking place in the region at that time.
