Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of King Stachak of the Principality of Chach, who was known for his efforts to promote trade and commerce in the region. The coin's design, which features a stylized image of a horse on the reverse, is a nod to the importance of horse breeding and trading in the Principality's economy during that time.
