Matar was probably the governor of Egypt between 155-157 AH (773-776).
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, administrative reforms, and cultural achievements, and his reign marked the beginning of the Golden Age of the Abbasid Caliphate. The coin's design and inscriptions reflect the influence of the Islamic culture and religion during that time.
