Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of 'Ali b. Nasr, also known as Humrak, who was the ruler of the United Qarakhanid Khaganate from 1018 to 1024. The Qarakhanid dynasty was a Turkic dynasty that ruled over a vast territory including present-day Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and parts of Russia and China. The coin's design and inscriptions reflect the cultural and religious influences of the time, with the use of Arabic script and Islamic symbols.
