Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Dinar - Turan Shah I 483 (1091) from Kerman Sultanate (Seljuq dynasty) made of Gold weighing 3.48 g is that it features an intricate design, including an inscription in Arabic that reads "Muhammad is the Messenger of God" and "Turan Shah, the Sultan of Islam" on one side, and a stylized depiction of a lion on the other. This coin is a rare and valuable example of Islamic coinage from the Seljuq dynasty, which was a powerful empire that ruled much of the Middle East and Central Asia during the 11th to 14th centuries.
