Zeno #22410Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the "Ilkhan" Arghun Khan 688 (1289) coin from Ilkhanate is that it features an image of a Mongolian emperor on horseback, which was a departure from the traditional Islamic coinage designs that featured Arabic inscriptions and imagery. This coin was minted during the reign of Arghun Khan, who was a Mongolian ruler and the successor of Genghis Khan's grandson, Hulagu Khan. The coin's design reflects the blending of Mongolian and Islamic cultures that occurred during this period in history.
