Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Sulayman, who was the son of the Mongol emperor, Ghazan Khan, and ruled over the Chupanid puppet state of Ilkhanate. The coin features an "eye-shape" design, which was a unique feature of coins issued during Sulayman's reign. Additionally, the coin was made of silver, which was a valuable and sought-after metal at the time.
