Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of a horse on one side, which was a common motif in Khwarezmian coinage during the time of Muhammad II's reign. The horse was a symbol of strength, power, and mobility, and its inclusion on the coinage was meant to convey the idea of the king's authority and military prowess.
