Interesting fact
The Qandhari Dirham "Damma" coin was used as a form of currency in the Emirate of Multan, which is now a part of modern-day India and Pakistan, during the 8th century. Despite being a small coin, it was made of silver, which was a valuable metal at the time, and weighed only 0.69 grams. This coin is a rare example of the currency used during the reign of Amir Muhammad, who ruled the Emirate of Multan from 712 to 715 AD. Its unique design and historical significance make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
