Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Bakr b. Muhammad, who was the son of the founder of the Qarakhanid dynasty, Muhammad bin Yusuf. This coin is a rare example of a coin issued during his reign, as he was known to have minted very few coins during his lifetime. Additionally, the coin's design features a unique combination of Arabic and Turkic elements, reflecting the cultural blend of the Qarakhanid Empire.
