Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the "Ilkhan" Baydu (Tabriz) 694 (1295) coin from the 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 emperor, Baydu, while the reverse side bears the traditional Islamic declaration of faith, "There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah." This blending of cultures reflects the complex history of the Ilkhanate, which was a Mongolian khanate that ruled over a vast territory that included present-day Iran, Azerbaijan, and parts of Turkey and Iraq.
