Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an inscription in the Arabic script, which was commonly used in the Islamic world at the time. The inscription includes the name of the ruler, Hajji Chelebi Khan, and the title "ya sahib al-zaman," which means "owner of the age." This suggests that the coin was minted during a time when Islamic influence was prevalent in the region. Additionally, the fact that it is made of silver and weighs 2 grams suggests that it was a valuable and widely used currency during its time.
