Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Falus coin from Bukhara is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Mongolian influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the inscription "Al-Sultanu Al-Azam" (The Great Sultan) in Arabic, indicating the coin's issuance under the authority of a powerful Mongolian ruler. Meanwhile, the reverse side features a stylized depiction of a dragon, which was a symbol commonly associated with Mongolian royalty. This blending of cultural influences reflects the rich history and cultural exchange that took place in Bukhara during the Mongolian Empire's reign.
