Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Khut-Tegin I, who was a powerful emir of the Emirate of Bost in Greater Iran during the 10th century. Despite being made of copper, which is a relatively common metal, the coin still holds significant historical value due to its age and the fact that it was used in a region that was once a major center of trade and commerce.
