Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in the Principality of Chach, which was a small state that existed in the 7th and 8th centuries in the region that is now modern-day Turkey. The coin's uncertain provenance and lack of clear documentation make it a fascinating piece for historians and collectors to study and speculate about.
