Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Bakr b. al-Hasan, who was the second ruler of the Qarakhanid dynasty, and it features an inscription in the Turkic language, which was a significant departure from the traditional Arabic script used on coins of the time. This coin is a rare example of the early use of Turkic language on coins and highlights the cultural and linguistic diversity of the Qarakhanid Empire.
