Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Dinar - Abu Bakr Qaratuz 602 (1206) from Emirate of Wakhsh (Greater Iran) made of Gold weighing 3.13 g is that it features an inscription in Arabic that translates to "Abu Bakr Qaratuz, the just king, in the year 602" on one side, and an image of a lion on the other. This coin was part of a currency reform implemented by Abu Bakr Qaratuz, who ruled the Emirate of Wakhsh from 1206 to 1210, and it was used as a means of standardizing currency across the region.
