Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Rukn al-Din Khurshah, who was the last ruler of the Alamut State, a Nizari Ismaili state that existed in what is now Iran and Syria. The coin features the name of the ruler and the date of issue in both Persian and Arabic, reflecting the multicultural nature of the state at the time. Additionally, the fact that it was made of gold suggests that it was a high-value coin, likely used for large transactions or as a symbol of wealth and power.
