Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued by Sultan Murad ibn Ya'qub, also known as Shaykh Murshid, who was the founder of the Aq Qoyunlu tribal federation in Fars and Iraq-Ajam. He ruled from 1500 to 1508 and was known for his military campaigns and administrative reforms. This coin, which is made of silver and weighs 1.37 grams, is a testament to his leadership and the prosperity of the Aq Qoyunlu Empire during his reign.
