Comment

Khusraw Malik was the last ruler of the Ghaznavids before being conquered by the Ghurids.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Khusrau Malik, also known as Kurraman, who was the last ruler of the Ghaznavid dynasty. Despite being the last ruler, he was known for his military campaigns and his efforts to promote art, literature, and learning. This coin, which was made of billon (a mixture of copper and silver), weighs 3.2 grams and is a testament to the advanced metallurgical techniques of the time.
