Http://ilkhans.altaycoins.com/#denomination Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Abu Sa'id Khan, who was the last Ilkhanid ruler and reigned from 1316 to 1335. Despite his turbulent reign, he was known for his efforts to promote trade and commerce, which is reflected in the fact that this coin was made of silver and had a relatively high weight of 3.61 grams. This suggests that the coin was intended to be used for large transactions and highlights the importance of trade in the Ilkhanate Empire during that time.
