Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Jalal ad-Din Tayyibshah, who was a powerful ruler of the Atabegs of Shabankara, a region in Greater Iran, in the 13th century. Despite being made of gold, the coin weighs a relatively modest 12.00 grams, indicating that it was intended for everyday use and not just for the wealthy elite. This suggests that gold coins like this one played an important role in the economy of the region at the time.
