Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the "Ilkhan" Abu Sa'id Khan 722 (1316-1335) coin from Ilkhanate 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 emblem, the "soyombo," which is a symbol of power and strength, while the reverse side features a traditional Islamic design with Arabic script and the name of the ruler, Abu Sa'id Khan. This blending of cultural influences reflects the rich history of the Ilkhanate Empire, which was a Mongolian khanate that ruled over a vast territory that included present-day Iran, Azerbaijan, and parts of Turkey and Iraq.
