Comment
AV dinar (fine gold), without titles, as vassal of the Qarakhanid Abu’l-Qasim Mahmud.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Dinar coin from the Bavand dynasty is that it features an image of Rustam b. ‘Ali, the ruler of the dynasty, on one side, and an image of a lion on the other side. This is significant because lions were not commonly found in the region where the coin was minted, and it suggests that the ruler had a strong connection to the animal, possibly symbolizing power and strength.
