Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Mahmud Khoja, who was a prominent leader of the Golden Horde, a Mongol khanate that ruled over much of Eastern Europe and Central Asia during the 13th and 14th centuries. The coin's design and inscriptions reflect the cultural and religious influences of the time, with the name of the ruler and the date of issue written in both Mongolian and Arabic scripts. Despite its small size, this coin is a valuable piece of history that provides insight into the economic and political systems of the Golden Horde and its impact on the regions it ruled.
