Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Dirham - Mahmud (Ghazna) ND (998-1030) from Ghaznavid dynasty made of Silver weighing 3.61 g is that it features an inscription in Arabic that translates to "Mahmud, the Sultan of the Muslims" on one side, and an image of a lion on the other. This coin was issued during the reign of Mahmud of Ghazni (998-1030 CE), who is considered one of the greatest rulers of the Ghaznavid Empire, known for his military campaigns into India and his patronage of art, literature, and learning.
