Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Al-'Abbas b. Muhammad b. Nasr, who was the ruler of the United Qarakhanid Khaganate, a powerful Turkic dynasty that controlled a vast territory stretching from modern-day Uzbekistan to parts of China and Russia. The coin's design and inscriptions reflect the cultural and religious influences of the time, with the use of Arabic script and Islamic motifs. Despite being made of silver, the coin weighs only 3.85 grams, which is relatively light for a coin of its size and material. This may indicate that the coin was intended for everyday use and circulation, rather than being a high-value or commemorative coin.
