Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an anachronistic date, with the year 753 (1352) being inscribed on the coin despite the fact that the Golden Horde was not established until the late 13th century. This suggests that the coin may have been minted at a later date, possibly during the reign of a later ruler who sought to emulate the coinage of the earlier Golden Horde.
