Interesting fact
The 6 Dirhams coin from Yasa'ur's Rebellion (Ilkhanate) made of Silver weighing 11.70 g is an interesting piece of history because it was minted during a time of great political upheaval in the region. Yasa'ur, also known as Yusuf Shah, was a leader of the Ghazna province in modern-day Afghanistan who rebelled against the rule of the Ilkhanate Empire in the early 14th century. The coin was minted in 718 (1318) and features an inscription that reads "al-sultanu al-azam" or "the great king" in Arabic, indicating Yasa'ur's attempt to establish himself as a powerful ruler. Despite the rebellion ultimately being unsuccessful, the coin remains a valuable artifact and a testament to the rich history of the region.
