Note: This AR Dirhem, minted in Samarqand during the reign of Nuh ibn Nasr, bears the name of Abbasid Khalif al-Mustakfi billah (ruled 333-334 AH). During this period, the Samanids continued to recognize Al-Mustakfi as the legitimate Abbasid Khalif, despite the rival Buyids removing him from power and installing his son, al-Muti’, to the throne. This historical context sheds light on the complex political dynamics of the era, where regional powers sought to assert their influence over the Abbasid Caliphate. The coin serves as a testament to the diplomatic and political strategies employed by the Samanids to navigate this turbulent period in Islamic history.
