Interesting fact
The Western Qarakhanid Khaganate was a Turkic khaganate that ruled over parts of Central Asia and the Middle East during the 11th and 12th centuries. One interesting fact about the 1 AE Dirham coin from this dynasty is that it features an inscription in the Turkic language, which was a unique feature of Qarakhanid coins during that time period.
