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 Amr ibn Muhammad in the Islamic states of Sind, which is now part of modern-day Pakistan, in the 8th century. Despite being made of silver, the coin is relatively small, weighing only 0.46 grams, making it a unique and interesting piece of history.
