Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great cultural and religious significance for the Principality of Chach, as it was during this period that the region was transitioning from a polytheistic belief system to a monotheistic one. This shift in beliefs is reflected in the coin's design, which features an image of a single deity, rather than the multiple deities that were depicted on earlier coins. This change in design represents a significant cultural and religious milestone for the Principality of Chach and adds to the coin's historical and cultural significance.
