Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Abu'l-Ghazi Khan, who was the last ruler of the Janid dynasty and was known for his military campaigns and cultural achievements. Despite being made of gold, the coin weighs only 4.6 grams, which is relatively light for a gold coin. This may indicate that the coin was intended for everyday use and circulation, rather than being a ceremonial or commemorative coin.
