Interesting fact
The Eastern Qarakhanid Khaganate was a Turkic khaganate that ruled parts of Central Asia and Xinjiang in the 11th century. The 1 Dirham - Bahram (Uzkand) ND (1048-1053) coin, made of Billon and weighing 4.49 g, is an interesting artifact from this time period. One fascinating fact about this coin is that it features an inscription in the Old Turkic script, which was used by the Qarakhanid dynasty. This script is an early example of a Turkic writing system and is considered an important part of the history of Turkic languages.
