Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Shaikh Uvais Jalayir, also known as Shaykh Uways I, who was the founder of the Jalayirid Sultanate and ruled from 1356 to 1374. The Jalayirid Sultanate was a Mongol khanate that was established in present-day Iraq and western Iran after the Mongol invasion of the Middle East. The coin is made of silver and features an inscription in Arabic that includes the name of the ruler and the date of issue.
