Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Double Dirham coin with Tibetian script is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Tibetian influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features Arabic script, while the reverse side features Tibetian script, reflecting the cultural exchange and religious diversity of the Golden Horde during the time of Toqta (Ukek)'s reign (1291-1312). This coin is a rare example of the cultural fusion that existed during this period in history.
