Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Abu'l-Nasr Muhammad, who was the ruler of the Ghaznavid Empire, which was a Persianate Muslim empire that existed from the 10th to the 12th century in what is now Afghanistan, Pakistan, and parts of India. The coin features the name of the ruler and the date of issue in the Islamic calendar, which suggests that it was used as a means of currency during that time. Additionally, the fact that it was made of silver suggests that it was a valuable and widely accepted form of currency in the region.
