The Dirham "Dang" coin from the Golden Horde, minted during the reign of Abdallah (Azaq) between 1364-1367, is an interesting piece of history. One fascinating fact about this coin is that, despite being made of silver, it weighs only 1.23 grams, which is relatively light compared to other coins of similar composition and time period. This could indicate that the coin was intended for small transactions or everyday use, as opposed to larger, heavier coins that might have been used for larger purchases or as a store of value.
