Interesting fact
The 1 AE Dirham coin from the Qarakhanids of Balkh (Qarakhanid apanages) is interesting because it features a unique blend of Islamic and Mongolian influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features Arabic script and the name of the ruler, Sanjar Qadir Taghaj Khan, while the reverse side features a stylized Mongolian horseman, reflecting the Mongolian Empire's influence on the region during that time. This blend of cultures is a testament to the rich history and diversity of the region.
