Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Mansur b. 'Ali, who was the ruler of the United Qarakhanid Khaganate, a powerful Turkic dynasty that controlled a vast territory stretching from modern-day Uzbekistan to Eastern Europe during the 10th and 11th centuries. The coin's design and inscriptions reflect the cultural and religious influences of the time, with the use of Arabic script and Islamic symbols, indicating the spread of Islam in the region. Additionally, the fact that it was made of silver and weighed 1.94 grams suggests that it was a significant denomination in the currency system of the time.
