Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Shams al-Din Ahmad, who was the last ruler of the Saffarid dynasty, which was a Persian dynasty that ruled over parts of modern-day Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan from the 9th to the 12th century. Despite being the last ruler, Shams al-Din Ahmad's reign was marked by significant political instability and military struggles, which ultimately led to the downfall of the Saffarid dynasty. This coin serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of the region during that time period.
