Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Arab-Sasanian style, with the obverse side bearing the Arabic inscription "La ilaha illallah" (There is no god but Allah) and the reverse side featuring the Sasanian-style fire altar and the legend "Gyanbud" (meaning "knowledge" or "wisdom" in Persian). This blending of styles reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred during the Umayyad Caliphate, which was known for its tolerance and acceptance of diverse cultures and religions.
