Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Muhammad Khan, who was a puppet ruler of the Jalayirid dynasty, which was a Mongol khanate that ruled over much of the Middle East and Central Asia during the 14th century. Despite being a puppet ruler, Muhammad Khan was able to issue his own coins, such as this 2 Dirhams coin, which features his name and title, "Ilkhan" Muhammad Khan, in bold letters. This coin is a rare example of the currency used during this time period and offers a glimpse into the economic and political systems of the Jalayirid puppet state of Ilkhanate.
