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, Iskandar Bahadur Khan, while the reverse side features a stylized representation of a Mongolian tamga, or tribal symbol, reflecting the Shaybanid dynasty's Mongolian roots. This blend of cultures is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the region and the diverse influences that shaped its history.
