Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Qandhari Dirham "Damma" coin is that it was used as a form of currency in the Islamic states of Sind during the 9th and 11th centuries. Despite being made of silver, the coin was relatively small in weight, weighing only 0.56 grams. This suggests that the coin may have been used for small transactions or as a form of token currency, rather than as a large denomination coin. Additionally, the fact that it was anonymous, with no mention of the ruler or issuer, suggests that it may have been issued by a local authority or merchant rather than a central government.
