Comment
Contemporary imitation overstruck over another coinInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Sulayman Khan, who was the last Ilkhanid ruler and was known for his attempts to stabilize the empire and promote trade and commerce. Despite his efforts, the Ilkhanate was in decline during his reign and was eventually overthrown by the Chupanid dynasty, which ruled over the region until the 14th century. The coin itself is made of silver and weighs 1.3 grams, indicating its value and significance as a medium of exchange during that time.
