Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Dinar - Mahmud b. Sebuktegin 411 (1020) from Ghaznavid dynasty made of Gold weighing 4.16 g is that it features an inscription in Arabic that translates to "Mahmud, son of Sebuktegin, may God perpetuate his reign" on one side, and an image of a lion on the other. This coin was issued during the reign of Mahmud of Ghazni (998-1030 CE), who is considered one of the greatest rulers of the Ghaznavid Empire, known for his military campaigns into India and his patronage of art, literature, and learning. The coin's design and inscription reflect the cultural and religious influences of the time, and its gold content makes it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
