Anonymous, with title al-sultan al-a'zamInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Dirham - Tarmashirin (Otrar) 729-732 (1329-1332) from Chagatai Khanate made of Silver weighing 1.33 g is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Mongolian influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features an inscription in Arabic script, while the reverse side features a stylized representation of a Mongolian horseman, reflecting the Chagatai Khanate's Mongolian roots. This blend of cultures is a testament to the diverse and multicultural nature of the Chagatai Khanate, which was a major power in Central Asia during the 13th and 14th centuries.
