Comment
Broad fals.Interesting fact
The 1 Fals coin from the Emirate of Bost, which was issued during the reign of Khut-Tegin II in the 10th century, features an unusual design on its reverse side. Instead of the typical Islamic motifs or calligraphy found on many coins of the time, this coin bears an image of a mythical creature known as the "Simurgh." The Simurgh is a creature from Persian mythology that is said to have the body of a lion, the wings of an eagle, and the tail of a peacock. It is often associated with strength, courage, and wisdom. The inclusion of this image on the coin may have been intended to symbolize the power and prestige of the Emirate of Bost, which was a significant center of trade and commerce in the region at the time.
