Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of 'Adil Sultan, who was the first Muslim ruler of the Chagatai Khanate, a Mongol khanate that covered a vast territory including present-day Central Asia, Afghanistan, and parts of China. Despite being a Muslim, 'Adil Sultan allowed the use of both Islamic and Mongolian scripts on his coins, reflecting the cultural diversity of his empire.
