Yamīn-ud-Dawla Abul-Qāṣim Maḥmūd ibn Sebüktegīn (Persian: یمینالدوله ابوالقاسم محمود بن سبکتگین)
Founder of the Turkic Ghaznavid dynasty. If you've been watching Ertugrul, the name Sebuktegin is starting to remind you of names like Sungertekin, Gemushtekin,etc.
Two in this grade at NGC and 17 in lower grades. These are very common but usually very wrinkled, off flan, softly struck, etc. This one isn't great itself but is about as good as it gets for these barbarian raider tokens.
