Interesting fact
The Dirham "hāfizi" - Ibrahim (Ghazni) ND (1094-1098) from Ghaznavid dynasty was used as a currency during the reign of Sultan Ibrahim, who was known for his military campaigns and cultural achievements. The coin features an inscription in Arabic that translates to "Ibrahim, the Sultan of the land, the protector of the faith" on one side, and an image of a lion on the other. The lion was a symbol of power and strength in Islamic culture, and it's interesting to note that this coin was issued during a time when the Ghaznavid Empire was at its peak, covering much of the Indian subcontinent, Persia, and parts of Central Asia.
