Comment

All known Aghrunid coins are anonymous and all were struck in Qandahar and dated AH 926.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was made during the Arghun dynasty, which was a Mongol khanate that ruled over present-day Afghanistan, Pakistan, and parts of India and Iran. The Arghun dynasty was known for its rich cultural and artistic heritage, and this coin is a reflection of that, with its intricate design and use of gold.
