Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Abu Sa'id Khan, who was the last Ilkhanid ruler to issue coins in his own name. This coin, minted in 1323-1328, features the name "Ilkhan" on one side and the name "Abu Sa'id Khan" on the other, signifying the political instability of the time.
