Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Anushirwan Khan, who was a powerful Mongol emperor of the Ilkhanate dynasty in Persia (modern-day Iran) in the 14th century. Despite being a puppet state of the Ilkhanate, the Chupanid state was able to issue its own coins, such as this one, which features the name and title of Anushirwan Khan in the Mongolian language. This coin is a rare example of the monetary system used during this time period and provides valuable insight into the economic and political structures of the region.
