Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the names of two rulers, Abdallah ibn Tahir and Muhammad ibn Yahya, which suggests that it was issued during a period of co-rule or succession between the two leaders. This highlights the complex political dynamics of the Syr Darya Oghuz state during this time period.
