Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Dirham "Dang" coin is that it was issued during the reign of Aziz Shaykh, who was the Khan of the Golden Horde from 1364 to 1367. The coin features the name "Gulistan" on one side, which refers to the capital city of the Golden Horde, and the date 766 (1365) on the other side. This coin was made of silver and weighed 1.3 grams, which was a relatively small weight for a coin at that time. Despite its small size, the Dirham "Dang" coin is a valuable piece of history and a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
