Comment
Aqrah (Iraq):
@ Cycnos Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Anushirwan Khan, also known as Ulugh Beg, who was the Sultan of the Chagatai Khanate and the great-grandson of Genghis Khan. He was known for his military campaigns, administrative reforms, and patronage of the arts and sciences. The coin's design and inscriptions reflect the cultural and religious influences of the time, and its silver content and weight suggest that it was a valuable and widely used currency in the region.
