Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Ghazan II, who was the last Mongol ruler of the Ilkhanate dynasty in Persia. Despite being a puppet state of the Ilkhanate, the Chupanid dynasty was able to issue their own coins, like this one, which features Ghazan II's name and title in Mongolian script on one side and a stylized representation of a dragon on the other. This coin is a rare example of the currency used during this time period and offers a glimpse into the economic and political history of the region.
