Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Fractional Dinar - Nasir al-Din Aq Qush 550 (1155) from Atabegs of Borujerd (Seljuq dynasty) made of Gold weighing 1.10 g is that it features an intricate design, including an inscription in Arabic that translates to "Nasir al-Din Aq Qush, the Just King" on one side, and an image of a lion on the other. This coin is a rare example of the artistic and cultural achievements of the Seljuq dynasty, which played a significant role in the history of the Middle East and Anatolia.
