Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Dinar - Abu'l 'Abbas 618 (1221) coin from the Emirate of Wakhsh (Greater Iran) is that it features an inscription in the Persian language, which was the dominant language of the region at the time. The inscription includes the name of the ruler, Abu'l 'Abbas, and the date of minting, 618 AH (1221 CE). This coin is a rare example of a gold coin from this time period and region, and its preservation in such good condition is a testament to the advanced minting techniques used during the era.
