Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Qanhari Dirham "Damma" coin is that it was issued during the reign of Ya'qub Beg, who was a Turkish slave-soldier who rose to power and established the Sind Sultanate in present-day Pakistan and northwestern India. Despite being a slave-soldier, Ya'qub Beg was known for his military prowess and administrative skills, and he was able to maintain peace and stability in the region during his reign. The coin is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of the Islamic states in the region.
