Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Khusrau Malik, who was the last ruler of the Ghaznavid dynasty. Despite being the last ruler, he was able to issue a coin that has survived for centuries, which speaks to the durability and longevity of the coinage system during that time period. Additionally, the fact that it was made of Billon (Copper+Silver) suggests that the Ghaznavid dynasty had a strong economy and access to valuable resources, which further highlights the significance of this coin.
