Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was made of a unique alloy called "Leaded copper," which is a combination of copper and lead. This alloy was commonly used in coins during the Ghaznavid dynasty, and it was prized for its durability and resistance to wear and tear. Despite being made of a relatively inexpensive material, the coin's intricate design and craftsmanship make it a valuable piece for collectors and historians today.
