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-Muzaffar, who was the ruler of the Sind region in the early 11th century. Despite being made of silver, the coin was not widely accepted outside of the Sind region, and its value was limited to a specific area. This highlights the diverse nature of currency usage during the Islamic Golden Age, where various regions had their own forms of currency, and trade was facilitated through the use of different coins.
