Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the "Ilkhan" Abaqa Khan 680-684 (1281-1285) coin from Ilkhanate is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Mongolian influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features a stylized representation of the Mongolian emblem, the "soyombo" symbol, which is a combination of a sun, moon, and fire, while the reverse side features a traditional Islamic design with Arabic script and the name of the ruler, Abaqa Khan. This blending of cultural influences reflects the multicultural nature of the Ilkhanate empire, which was a Mongolian khanate that ruled over a vast territory that included present-day Iran, Azerbaijan, and parts of Turkey and Iraq.
