Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Nasir al-Dawla Ghazi, who was the founder of the Saltukid dynasty, a Turkmen dynasty that ruled over much of 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, making it a valuable piece for historians and collectors interested in the history of the region.
