Interesting fact

The Anepigraphic dirham "Sun type" (Bulghar) ND (1280-1310) from Golden Horde is a rare and unique coin that features an image of the sun on one side and a stylized representation of a horseman on the other. This coin was minted during the reign of Khan Tokuga, who ruled the Golden Horde from 1280 to 1310. The use of the sun symbol on the coin was likely meant to represent the Khan's connection to the divine and his role as a powerful leader. The coin's unique design and the fact that it was minted during a relatively short period of time make it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
