Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Mongolian influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features the name of the Mongolian emperor, Sayf al-Din Shahinshah, in Arabic script, while the reverse side features a stylized representation of a Mongolian warrior on horseback, surrounded by intricate geometric patterns. This blending of cultural influences reflects the complex political and cultural landscape of the time, when the Mongolian Empire was expanding its territories and interacting with various other cultures.
