Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Abu Ishaq, who was a powerful amir (prince) of the Injuid dynasty, which was a Persian dynasty that ruled over much of Greater Iran during the 14th century. Despite being issued by a regional dynasty, the coin still bears the name of the Ilkhanate, which was the dominant power in the region at the time. This highlights the complex political dynamics of the period, where regional leaders sought to assert their independence while still acknowledging the authority of the Ilkhanate. Additionally, the fact that the coin is made of gold and weighs 10.45 grams suggests that it was a valuable and significant coin in its time.
