Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an unusual combination of Islamic and Mongolian influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the name of the Mongolian emperor, Bayar-Abbas, while the reverse side features an Arabic inscription and a stylized depiction of a tree, which is a common motif in Islamic art. This blending of cultural influences reflects the complex history of the region during the 13th century, when the Mongols were expanding their empire and interacting with local populations.
