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 Khagan emperor of the Ilkhanate dynasty in Persia. He ruled from 1304 to 1316 AD and was known for his military campaigns and administrative reforms. The coin features the name and title of the emperor on one side and a stylized representation of a lion on the other, symbolizing power and strength. Despite its small size and relatively low value, this coin is a significant historical artifact that provides insight into the economic and political systems of the Ilkhanate Empire during that time.
