Coins, regardless of their role as a medium of exchange, can play an important part in the economy and trade of governments. Additionally, the inscriptions and designs on coins can reflect territorial, political, cultural, and economic changes within a country throughout history. This is why the study of coins and, consequently, the use of numismatics today can be of great help to professors, researchers, and scholars in various historical fields, even for those specializing in specific historical periods, to better examine and refine the transformations in political and dynastic history, economic history, cultural and religious history, as well as the historical geography of dynasties and governments over time. This research aims to explore how numismatics can be used in historical research and studies to shed light on certain ambiguities that researchers may encounter when examining pivotal moments in history. The findings of the research indicate that numismatics, depending on the manner and method of coin minting in different historical periods, can provide significant assistance to historians in conducting their studies accurately. Numismatics can contribute to the precise chronology of the reigns of kings, the identification of potential claimants, rivals to power, and rebels against the central government, as well as the historical extent and political-geographical boundaries of the territories of ruling dynasties. Moreover, it can help in understanding the duration of the prevalence of various scripts and languages in different historical periods, identifying customs, rituals, and religious ceremonies of each historical era, and analyzing the nature and causes of economic rivalries among neighboring and competing states, along with the economic scope of their coins. Such contributions of numismatics offer valuable insights to historians for conducting their studies comprehensively.
