Comment
The coin is packaged to represent a Paiza from Khan's time, the tablet shaped coin is presented with a red silk cord so that it can be 'worn'. It is stored in an antique-effect box that features an engraved plaque inscribed with the permission for the ‘wearer’ to use the Paiza as Khan's men would have done under his rule. The inscription on the plaque reads: ‘By the strength of eternal Heaven, holy be the Khan’s name. Let him that pays him not reverence be killed.'
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that combines the image of Queen Elizabeth II with the legend of Kublai Khan, the Mongol emperor who ruled over a vast portion of Asia in the 13th century. The coin's design is inspired by the famous poem "Kubla Khan" by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, which describes the emperor's palace and gardens in vivid detail. The coin's hole is said to represent the "pleasure dome" built by Kublai Khan, as described in the poem. This unique blend of history and literature makes the coin a fascinating collector's item for anyone interested in numismatics, history, or literature.
