Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Falus coin from the City of Karmina 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 Greatest Sultan) in Arabic, indicating the coin's issuance under the Mongol Empire's Islamic administration. Meanwhile, the reverse side features a stylized depiction of a dragon, which is a common motif in Mongolian art and symbolism. This blending of cultural elements reflects the rich cultural diversity of the Central Asian region during the 15th century.
