Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Qanhari Dirham "Damma" coin is that it was issued during the reign of Bishr ibn Da'ud al-Muhallabi, who was a prominent governor of the Islamic states in Sind (present-day Pakistan) during the 9th century. Despite being a standard circulation coin, it was made of silver, which was a valuable and durable material at the time, and weighed only 0.58 grams, making it a relatively small coin. This coin is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of the Islamic world during the Middle Ages.
