Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Ala ad-Din Tekish, who was the ruler of the Khwarezmian Empire from 1172 to 1200. He was known for his military campaigns and his efforts to promote trade and commerce within the empire. The coin itself is made of gold and weighs 2.41 grams, which was a significant amount for a circulating coin at that time.
