Jahan Temür (1339-1340) (Jalayirid puppet)

Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of political turmoil in the region. The Jalayirid puppet state of Ilkhanate was a short-lived state that was established in the 14th century, and this coin was minted during the reign of Muhammad Khan, who was the puppet ruler of the state. Despite its turbulent history, this coin has survived and is now a valuable piece for collectors and historians.
