Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Turanshah II, who was the last ruler of the Qalhati dynasty. Despite being made of gold, the coin weighs only 1.29 grams, making it a relatively small and portable form of currency. This highlights the importance of the coin's design and material, as well as its historical significance, as a symbol of the Islamic states and its rulers.
