Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Jalal ad-Din Mangubarni, who was the last ruler of the Khwarezmian Empire before it was conquered by the Mongols. Despite being the last ruler, he was known for his military campaigns and his efforts to centralize the government, which is reflected in the coin's design and the fact that it was minted at the Nandana mint. Additionally, the use of Billon, a copper and silver alloy, was a common practice in the Khwarezmian Empire, and this coin's weight of 3.43g is a good example of the standardization of coinage during that time.
