Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Chagatai Khan, the founder of the Chagatai Khanate, which was a Mongol khanate that covered a vast territory in Central Asia, including present-day Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and parts of Afghanistan and China. The coin features an inscription in the Persian language, which was the official language of the khanate at the time.
