Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Uljaytu Khan, also known as Muhammad Khodabandeh, who was the fifth Ilkhanid monarch and ruled from 1304 to 1316. He was known for his military campaigns and his efforts to stabilize the Ilkhanate, which had been facing internal conflicts and external threats.
