Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Dirham "Aqche" - Murtadha (Ordu Bazar) ND (1481-1499) from Golden Horde made of Silver weighing 0.48 g is that it was used as a form of currency during the reign of Murtadha, who was the Khan of the Golden Horde from 1481 to 1499. The coin was minted in the city of Ordu Bazar, which was an important center of trade and commerce during that time. Despite being made of silver, the coin was relatively small in weight, weighing only 0.48 grams. This suggests that the coin was intended for use in small transactions and everyday commerce, rather than being a high-value coin used for large transactions.
