Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design element - the tied hair - which is a distinctive feature of the Chach culture. This design element is a nod to the traditional hairstyle of the Chach people, where the hair is tied back and secured with a hair tie or clip. This design element not only adds aesthetic value to the coin but also serves as a symbol of cultural identity and heritage.
