Comment
Interesting fact
The Dirham coin is interesting because it was issued during the reign of Mangu Timur, who was the Khan of the Golden Horde, a Mongol khanate that ruled over much of Eastern Europe and Central Asia during the 13th century. The coin's design and inscriptions reflect the cultural and religious influences of the time, with a blend of Mongolian, Islamic, and Christian motifs. Additionally, the fact that it was made of silver and weighed 1.24 grams suggests that it was a significant denomination in the Golden Horde's monetary system.
