Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Shams al-Din Qutlugh Bilga Khan, who was a powerful ruler of the Qarakhanid Empire, a Turco-Mongol khanate that ruled over parts of Central Asia, Afghanistan, and Pakistan during the 12th and 13th centuries. The coin features an inscription in the Persian language, which was the administrative language of the empire at the time.
