Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Arslan Shah, who was the son of Tughril Beg, the founder of the Seljuq Empire. Arslan Shah was known for his military campaigns and his efforts to expand the empire's territories. The coin's design, which features the name of the ruler and the date of issue, reflects the importance of the Seljuq Empire's Islamic heritage and its connection to the Abbasid Caliphate. The use of gold in the coin's minting also signifies the wealth and prosperity of the empire during this time.
