Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Nizam al-Dawla Abuʾl-Muzaffar Tungha-Tegin, who was the ruler of the United Qarakhanid Khaganate, a powerful Turkic dynasty that ruled over a vast territory in Central Asia and the Middle East during the 10th and 11th centuries. The coin features the ruler's name and title in Arabic script on one side, and a stylized depiction of a lion on the other, which was a common motif in Islamic art and symbolized courage and strength. Despite its age, this coin remains a valuable piece of history and a testament to the craftsmanship and artistry of the time.
