Comment
As vasal of Ibrahim.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an inscription in the Quz-Urdu script, which was a writing system used in the Qarakhanid dynasty. This script was derived from the Arabic script and was used to write the Turkic languages spoken in the region. The use of Quz-Urdu on this coin reflects the cultural and linguistic diversity of the Western Qarakhanid Khaganate during this time period.
