Comment
- citing Qa'an al-Adi -Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the Ilkhanate Empire, which was a Mongol khanate that ruled over much of the Middle East and Central Asia during the 13th and 14th centuries. The Ilkhanate was known for its religious tolerance, with Christians, Muslims, Jews, and Buddhists all living under its rule. This diversity is reflected in the coin's design, which features both Islamic and Mongolian elements.
