Interesting fact
The coin is quite interesting! One fascinating fact about it is that it was issued during the reign of Sultan Muhammad IV, who ruled the Qarakhanid dynasty from 1015 to 1024. This was a time of significant cultural and economic development in the region, and the coinage of the period reflects the influence of various cultures, including Islamic, Turkic, and Chinese. The coin's design, featuring the legend "Bars Oga" (meaning "Fals of Oga") and the date 406 (1015 CE) in the Islamic calendar, highlights the blending of cultures and religions during this period.
