Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Burhan al-Dawla Ayyub, who was the ruler of the Eastern Qarakhanid Khaganate from 1062 to 1075. The coin features the name "Quz-Urdu" which refers to the city of Quz (also known as Kuz, Quz-Urdu, or Kuz-Urda) in modern-day Uzbekistan, which was an important center of trade and commerce during the time of the Qarakhanid dynasty.
