Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 6 Dirhams - Togha Temur (Type KB) 739 (1338) coin from Ilkhanates of Western Khorasan is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Mongolian influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features a stylized representation of the Mongolian emperor Togha Temur, while the reverse side bears the traditional Islamic declaration of faith, "There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah." This blending of cultural influences reflects the rich history of the Ilkhanates of Western Khorasan, which was a Mongolian khanate that ruled over a vast territory that included present-day Iran, Azerbaijan, and parts of Turkey and Iraq during the 13th and 14th centuries.
