Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was used as a form of currency in the Principality of Panch, which was a small state that existed in the 7th to 9th centuries in the region of modern-day Uzbekistan and Tajikistan. The coin was made of bronze and weighed 1.42 grams, which was a significant amount for a coin at that time. Despite its small size, the Principality of Panch played an important role in the history of Central Asia, and its coins are now highly sought after by collectors.
