Ghazna MintInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was made of a unique material called "Leaded copper," which is an alloy of copper and lead. This material was commonly used in coinage during the Ghaznavid dynasty, and it was prized for its durability and resistance to wear and tear. The use of this material in coinage also allowed for the creation of coins with a distinctive color and texture that set them apart from other coins of the time.
