Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Diya' al-Din Ghazi, who was the founder of the Saltukid dynasty, a Turkmen dynasty that ruled in Anatolia (modern-day Turkey) during the 12th century. The coin features an inscription in Arabic that includes the name of the ruler and the date of issue, which is an indication of the Islamic influence on the region at that time. Additionally, the fact that it was made of copper and weighs 2.09 grams suggests that it was a widely used and accessible form of currency during that period.
