Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ⅙ Dinar - Qazan Timur ND (1343-1346) coin from Chagatai Khanate is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Mongolian influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the inscription "Qazan Timur" in Mongolian script, while the reverse side features a stylized representation of a mosque, indicating the Islamic faith of the ruling dynasty.
