Note: Al-Mansur was the second Abbasid caliph, known for establishing the Abbasid Caliphate after overthrowing the Umayyad Caliphate. His reign saw the consolidation of Abbasid power and the foundation of Baghdad as the new capital. Basra, situated in present-day Iraq, was an important center of trade and commerce during the Abbasid period. The coin provides valuable historical insight into the economic and political landscape of the time, reflecting Abbasid influence in the region.
