They are believed to have been minted in the city of Ghazna about 800 years ago, which is now part of modern day Afghanistan. The coins are covered in Arabic script, including Genghis' title of \u003cem\u003eal-khaqan al-‘adil al-a‘zam,\u003c\/em\u003e which translates to \"The Khan of Khans, the Great Lord.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGenghis Khan's reign began in 1206, and his conquest expanded the Mongol Empire across Asia and into Europe.

Genghis Khan would also establish a unified monetary system, standardizing the use of silver and other precious metals as forms of currency, and introduced consistency in trade across the Mongol Empire. This contributed to the empire’s economic stability and marked a critical development in monetary history for the Mongols under Genghis' reign.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEach includes a \u003cstrong\u003eCertificate of Authenticity \u003c\/strong\u003eand is guaranteed genuine.
