Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was made during a time of significant cultural and economic exchange between the Islamic world and other regions, including China and India. This is reflected in the coin's design, which features a combination of Islamic and Indian motifs, such as the use of Arabic script and the depiction of a seated figure, possibly a representation of the Buddha. This blending of cultural influences is a testament to the diverse and cosmopolitan nature of the Islamic world during this period.
