Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Yusuf Arslan Khan ibn Muhammad, who was the ruler of the Qarakhanid apanages in Kashgar, a region in present-day Xinjiang, China. The coin features the name of the ruler and the date of issue, which was 601 AH (1205 CE), indicating that it was minted during a time of significant cultural and economic exchange between the Islamic world and East Asia. Additionally, the fact that it was made of copper suggests that it was a widely used and accessible form of currency during that time period.
