Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Jalal al-Dawla Tungha-Tegin, who was a prominent ruler of the Eastern Qarakhanid Khaganate in the 11th century. The coin features an inscription in Arabic that includes the ruler's name and title, as well as the date of issue, which corresponds to the Islamic year 445 (1053 CE). This coin is a rare example of the currency used during this time period and provides valuable insight into the economic and cultural practices of the Qarakhanid dynasty.
