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 "Muhammad is the Messenger of God" in a cursive script, while the reverse side features a stylized representation of the Sasanian king Yusuf b.'Umar, seated on a throne and surrounded by attendants. This blending of cultural elements is a hallmark of the Umayyad Caliphate's art and architecture, and is a testament to the diverse cultural heritage of the Islamic world.
