Interesting fact
The coin is quite interesting! One fascinating fact about it is that it was issued during the reign of Abdallah, who was the Khan of the Golden Horde from 1367 to 1375. The Golden Horde was a Mongol khanate that ruled over much of Eastern Europe and Central Asia during the 13th to 14th centuries. The fact that this coin was made of silver and weighs 1.29 grams suggests that it was a significant denomination and was likely used for large transactions. It's also interesting to note that the coin features the name "Dang" which is a Mongolian word for "money" or "coin". This highlights the influence of Mongolian culture on the currency of the Golden Horde.
