Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Güyük Khan ½ Dirham coin is that it was issued during a time of great turmoil and change in the Mongol Empire. Güyük Khan was the grandson of Genghis Khan and became the Khan of the Mongol Empire in 1246, but his reign was cut short by his untimely death in 1249. During his reign, the empire faced many challenges, including internal power struggles and external threats from neighboring kingdoms. Despite these challenges, the Güyük Khan ½ Dirham coin remains a testament to the enduring legacy of the Mongol Empire and its influence on the history of currency and trade.
