Comment
Anonymous issue of Tarmashirin, with the obverse phrase al-‘adl wa’l-mulk tu’aman, “justice and kingship are twins”.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique "twins" design on one side, depicting two figures seated on a throne, which is a rare and distinctive feature of Chagatai Khanate coins from this period.
