Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Qanhari Dirham "Damma" coin is that it was made of silver and weighed only 0.32 grams, which is relatively light for a coin of its size and denomination. This suggests that the coin may have been designed to be easily portable and accessible to a wide range of people, including those who may not have had access to larger or heavier coins. Additionally, the fact that it was made of silver, a valuable and durable metal, may have added to its perceived value and reliability as a form of currency.
