Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Hulagu Khan, the founder of the Ilkhanate, on one side, and a stylized representation of a dragon on the other. The dragon symbolized the power and strength of the Mongol Empire, which had conquered a vast portion of the known world at the time. Despite being made of copper, this coin was valued highly due to its connection to the powerful Mongol Empire and its leader.
