    This is rare on account of being a special issue with the additional phrase qull Allahumma / malik al-mulk ("say, our God, possessor of the kingship") in the reverse margin.

    This coin is very rare on account of its mint, Qal‘at Nay was a mountaintop fortress to the west of Ghazna, and it was only active as a mint under Jalal al-Din Mangubarni.
