Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Toghan Temur, the last Khan of the Chagatai Khanate, who ruled from 1347 to 1351. The coin features an inscription in the Persian language, which was the official language of the Chagatai Khanate at the time. The inscription includes the name of the Khan, the date of issue, and the mint location, which is Dâshmand (also known as Saray). This coin is a rare example of a silver coin issued by the Chagatai Khanate during this period, as most coins from this time were made of copper or other base metals.
