Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Nasr b. 'Ali, who was the ruler of the Qarakhanid dynasty, a powerful Islamic state that existed from the 9th to the 14th century. The coin features an inscription in Arabic that reads "al-Sultanu al-Azam" which means "The Greatest Sultan" in English, indicating the high status of the ruler at the time. Additionally, the coin's weight of 2.98g suggests that it was made of a copper or silver alloy, which was a common material used for coins during that period.
