Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Al-Harith b. Harb, who was a powerful military leader and governor of the Samanid dynasty, which was a Persian dynasty that ruled parts of Central Asia, Afghanistan, and Iran from the 9th to the 11th century. The coin's design and inscriptions reflect the cultural and religious influences of the region at that time, and its silver content and weight suggest that it was a significant denomination in the currency system of the Samanid Empire.
