Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Muzaffar al-Din Muhammad Shah, who was the ruler of the Qutlugh-Khanid dynasty, a Turco-Mongol khanate that ruled over much of Greater Iran during the 14th century. The coin features an inscription in Persian that reads "Muzaffar al-Din Muhammad Shah, the Sultan of the lands of Iran and Turan," highlighting the ruler's claim to authority over both the Iranian plateau and the Central Asian steppes. This coin is a rare example of the monetary system used during this period and provides valuable insight into the economic and political structures of the Qutlugh-Khanid dynasty.
