Interesting fact
The interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Dervish Khan, who was a powerful leader of the Golden Horde, a Mongol khanate that ruled over much of Eastern Europe and Central Asia during the 13th to 14th centuries. The coin features an image of a dervish, or a Muslim holy man, on one side and an inscription in Persian on the other. The use of a dervish image on the coin may have been a way for Dervish Khan to promote his own religious beliefs or to emphasize the importance of Islam in his kingdom.
