Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Falus coin from Tirmidh is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Mongolian influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the inscription "Al-Sultanu Al-Azam" (The Greatest Sultan) in Arabic, indicating the coin's issuance under the Mongol Empire's rule. However, the reverse side features a stylized representation of a dragon, which is a common motif in Mongolian art and symbolism. This blending of cultural elements reflects the rich cultural exchange and diversity that characterized the Mongol Empire's vast territories.
