Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of elements, including a star to the right of the ruler's image, which may indicate that it was issued during a specific event or celebration. Additionally, the coin's bronze composition and relatively small weight suggest that it may have been used for everyday transactions, making it a practical and accessible form of currency for the people of the Principality of Chach during that time.
