Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Sultan Husayn I, who was the founder of the Jalayirid dynasty and ruled from 1374 to 1382. The Jalayirid Sultanate was a Mongol khanate that was established in present-day Iraq and western Iran after the death of the Mongol emperor, Timur. The coin is made of silver and weighs 1.4 grams, which was a common weight for coins during that time period.
