Interesting fact
The interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Khan Olugh Mokhammad, who was the first ruler of the Golden Horde to adopt Islam as the official religion, and it features an inscription in Arabic that reads "There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah." This highlights the significant cultural and religious shift that took place during this period in the Golden Horde's history.
