Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Arab and Sasanian influences in its design, reflecting the cultural exchange and fusion that occurred during the Umayyad Caliphate. The coin's obverse side features the Arabic inscription "Al-Mu'tasim bi'llah" (meaning "Al-Mu'tasim in the name of God"), while the reverse side features a Sasanian-style fire altar, highlighting the cultural exchange and synthesis that characterized the Umayyad period.
