Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it is a mule of two reverses, meaning that it combines the reverse of one coin with the obverse of another, creating a unique and rare design. This feature makes it particularly valuable to collectors and historians studying the currency of the Khazar Khaganate.
