Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Yusuf b. 'Abd Allah, who was the ruler of the Qarakhanid dynasty, a powerful Islamic state that existed from the 10th to the 14th century. The coin features an inscription in Arabic that reads "al-sultanu al-azam" which means "the great king" in English. This suggests that the ruler was held in high esteem and had a significant amount of power and influence during his reign. Additionally, the fact that the coin is made of copper and weighs only 1.97 grams suggests that it was a widely used and accessible form of currency during that time period.
