Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Arab-Sasanian style and Abbasid Caliphate imagery. The obverse side of the coin depicts a stylized representation of the Abbasid Caliph, Al-Mahdi, while the reverse side features a traditional Sasanian-style fire altar, highlighting the cultural exchange and influence of the two empires during that time period.
