Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Qanhari Dirham "Damma" coin is that it was used as a form of currency during the reign of Al-Murid ND (975-1001) in the Islamic states of Sind, which is now a province in modern-day Pakistan. Despite being made of silver, the coin weighs only 0.48 grams, making it a relatively lightweight and portable form of currency for everyday transactions.
