Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Baha' al-Din Sam, who was the last ruler of the Ghurid dynasty and is known for his military campaigns against the neighboring regions, including India and Central Asia. Despite his military conquests, his rule was marked by political instability and internal conflicts, which ultimately led to the downfall of the Ghurid dynasty. This coin serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of the region, and the significance of the Ghurid dynasty in the history of Islamic civilization.
