Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Mongolian influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features Arabic script and the name of the ruler, Muizz al-din Muhammad bin Sam, while the reverse side features a stylized depiction of a bull and horseman, which is a common motif in Mongolian art. This blending of cultural influences reflects the complex history of the Ghurid dynasty, which was founded by a Turkic tribe but later came under Mongolian rule.
