Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Shams al-Dawla Arslan Ilek, who was the ruler of the Eastern Qarakhanid Khaganate from 1056 to 1077. The coin features an inscription in Arabic that includes the ruler's name and title, as well as the date of issue in the Islamic calendar. This coin is a rare example of the currency used during the Qarakhanid dynasty, which was a powerful and influential empire that spanned parts of Central Asia, Afghanistan, and Iran during the 11th to 14th centuries.
