Interesting fact
The Qarakhanid apanages, which issued this coin, were a group of tribal territories that were established in the 10th century in the region of modern-day Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan. The Qarakhanid dynasty was known for its military prowess and cultural achievements, and its apanages were granted a degree of autonomy and were able to issue their own coins. This coin, bearing the name of Muzaffar Kiya, is a rare example of a Qarakhanid apanage coin made of silver, and its weight of 3.11 grams suggests that it was a significant denomination in the currency system of the time.
