Interesting fact
The Danishmendid dynasty, which issued this coin, was a Turkish dynasty that ruled in north-central Anatolia (modern-day Turkey) during the 12th century. The name "Danishmend" means "the wise" or "the intelligent" in Persian, which reflects the cultural and intellectual achievements of the dynasty during its reign.
