Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Dinar - Mahmud (Nishapur) 392 (994-1030) from Ghaznavid dynasty made of Gold weighing 6.14 g is that it features an inscription in Arabic that translates to "Mahmud, the just king, may God perpetuate his reign" on one side, and an image of a lion attacking a bull on the other. This coin was minted during the reign of Mahmud of Ghazni, 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.
