Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that Hulagu Khan, whose name appears on the coin, was a Mongol emperor who conquered a vast portion of the known world, creating the largest empire in history. He was a grandson of Genghis Khan and founder of the Ilkhanate dynasty, which ruled over much of the Middle East and Central Asia. Despite his military conquests, Hulagu was known for his religious tolerance and his support of the arts and sciences.
