Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Sultan Husayn Bayqara, who was a prominent ruler of the Timurid Empire in the 15th century. He was known for his military campaigns, administrative reforms, and patronage of the arts, and his rule saw a period of cultural and economic flourishing in Central Asia. The coin's design, featuring a round cartouche with the inscription "Adl Samarqand 899" (meaning "Justice of Samarqand 899" in Persian), reflects the influence of Islamic culture and the importance of justice in the Timurid Empire's values.
