Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Fals - Nasr b. 'Ali (Ferghana) 398 (1008) from Qarakhanid dynasty (Islamic states) made of Copper weighing 2.66 g is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Central Asian influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features Arabic script and the name of the ruler, Nasr b. 'Ali, while the reverse side features a stylized depiction of a lion, which was a common motif in ancient Central Asian art. This blending of cultural influences reflects the rich history and diversity of the Qarakhanid dynasty, which was a major power in the region during the 10th to 13th centuries.
