Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Ilkhanate Dirham coin 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 bird, a horse, and a sun, while the reverse side features a traditional Islamic design with Arabic script and the name of the ruler, "Ilkhan." This blending of cultural influences reflects the rich history of the Ilkhanate Empire, which was founded by the Mongols in the 13th century and went on to become a major power in the Middle East and Central Asia.
