Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was made of debased gold, which means that the gold content was less than the standard 24-karat gold used in most coins. This suggests that the Emirate of Qalhati may have been facing economic challenges or had limited access to pure gold resources at the time of its minting. Despite this, the coin still held significant value and was widely used in trade and commerce within the Islamic states.
