Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Malikshah III, who was the last ruler of the Seljuq dynasty and was known for his military campaigns and architectural projects. Despite being made of gold, the coin weighs only 3.00 grams, which is relatively light for a gold coin. This may indicate that the coin was intended for everyday use and circulation, rather than being a ceremonial or commemorative coin. Additionally, the fact that it was issued in the Hamadan Sultanate, which was a province of the Seljuq Empire, suggests that the coin may have been used in trade and commerce throughout the region.
