Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique trefoil knot design on one side, which is a distinctive feature of Islamic art and architecture. The trefoil knot is a symbol of the Islamic faith and is often used in Islamic art and architecture to represent the unity and oneness of God. The use of this design on the coin highlights the strong Islamic influence in the Emirate of Darband during the 12th century.
