Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Aq Qoyunlu coin is that it features an intricate design on its reverse side, including a stylized lion and a legend in the Old Turkic script. This script was used by the Turkic peoples of Central Asia and Anatolia during the Middle Ages and is still studied by scholars today. The use of this script on the coin highlights the cultural and linguistic diversity of the region during the 15th century.
