Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique left-turning tamgha symbol, which is a stylized representation of a horse's head and neck. The tamgha was a symbol of the Turkic tribes that inhabited the region where the coin was minted, and it was often used on coins and other artifacts to signify the coin's origin and authenticity. The left-turning tamgha on this coin is particularly rare and valuable among collectors, making it a highly sought-after piece of numismatic history.
