Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an inscription in Arabic that reads "Muhammad is the Messenger of God" on one side, and "Arslan, the Sultan" on the other. This highlights the Islamic influence on the Seljuq dynasty and the importance of religion in the minting of coins during that time.
