Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Ulugh Igdish Chaghri Khaqan, who was a prominent leader of the Qarakhanid Empire in the early 13th century. The coin features an inscription in Arabic that translates to "Imad ad-Dunia wa-d-Din Ulugh Igdish Chaghri Khaqan" which means "Imad, the leader of the world and the faith, Ulugh Igdish Chaghri Khaqan". This inscription highlights the importance of the leader and the empire at the time. Additionally, the coin weighs 2.90g, which is a relatively small weight for a coin, indicating that it was likely used for everyday transactions and was accessible to a wide range of people.
