Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Chinese influences in its design. The coin's obverse features Arabic script, while the reverse features a stylized dragon, which is a common motif in Chinese culture. This blending of cultural elements reflects the rich history of the Xinjiang region, which has been a crossroads of civilizations for centuries.
