Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Muizz al-din Muhammad bin Sam, who was the ruler of the Ghurid Empire, which was a powerful Islamic empire that existed from the 12th to the 13th century in what is now Afghanistan, Pakistan, and parts of India. The coin was made of copper and weighed 2 grams, which was a common weight for coins during that time period. The fact that it was issued during the Ghurid dynasty makes it a valuable piece of history for collectors and historians interested in the Islamic world.
