Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Fals-temp. Abaqa (Tiflis Mint - Type I) 675 (1276) from Ilkhanate made of Copper weighing 1.42g is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Mongolian influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the name of the Ilkhanate ruler, Abaqa, in Persian script, while the reverse side features a stylized representation of a Mongolian horseman, symbolizing the empire's Mongolian roots. This blend of cultures is a reflection of the Ilkhanate's history as a Mongolian khanate that ruled over a vast territory in the Middle East and Central Asia during the 13th century.
