Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Bahram Shah, who was known for his military campaigns and cultural achievements. Despite being made of a base metal like copper and silver, the coin still holds significant historical value due to its association with the Ghaznavid dynasty, which played a crucial role in the cultural and economic development of the Indian subcontinent during the medieval period.
