Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Sayf al-dîn Begtimur, who was the founder of the Begtimurid dynasty, a short-lived Islamic state that existed in present-day Uzbekistan and parts of Central Asia during the 12th century. Despite its brief existence, the Begtimurid dynasty played an important role in the history of the region, and this coin serves as a tangible reminder of that era.
