Not mentioned in Silver coins of khans of Golden Horde by R.Z. Sagdeeva (Moscow, 2005)

 

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Dirham "Dang" coin is that it was issued during the reign of Aziz Shaykh, 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 minting date, 767 (1366), suggests that it was issued during a time of significant political and economic change in the region, as the Golden Horde was facing challenges from rival powers and struggling to maintain its dominance. Despite these challenges, the Dirham "Dang" coin remains a valuable piece of history and a testament to the advanced minting techniques and artistic skills of the time.
