Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during a time of political instability and conflict in the region. The Aq Qoyunlu tribe was involved in a series of wars and power struggles, and the coin may have been used as a means of financing military campaigns or paying tribute to rival powers. Despite these challenges, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and beauty, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of the region.
