The Arabic/Urdu letters of the opening phrase of the Quran “Bismillah Ar-Rahman Ar-Rahim’ (In the name of Allah, the most merciful, the most beneficient) sum up to the numerical value  ‘786’, therefore some people believe that 786 is a substitute to the name of Allah. Thus this hijri date 786 on the coin makes it special and interesting.
