Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of a Mongolian horseman on the obverse side, which was a common design element on coins issued by the Ilkhanate dynasty. The Ilkhanate was a Mongol khanate that ruled over much of the Middle East and Central Asia during the 13th and 14th centuries, and its coins often featured imagery that reflected the Mongolian culture and tradition. The horseman image on this coin is a nod to the Mongolian people's rich history of horsemanship and their role in the expansion of the Mongol Empire.
