Comment
According to Stephen Album, this unpublished type is "possibly a local issue from the region of the branches in Balkh and Tirmidh, or some uncertain mint in the same region."Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Nasir al-Din ND (1164-1212) who was a prominent leader of the Qarakhanid Empire, which was a powerful Turkic dynasty that ruled over a vast territory including present-day Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and parts of Russia and China. The coin's design and inscriptions reflect the cultural and religious influences of the time, showcasing the rich history and heritage of the region.
