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 covered a vast territory including present-day Afghanistan, Pakistan, and parts of India, Iran, and Central Asia. Despite being a powerful empire, the Ghurids were known for their cultural and artistic achievements, and this coin is a testament to their advanced minting techniques and artistic skills.
