One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Berdi Beg, who was the Khan of the Golden Horde from 1357 to 1359. The coin features the name "Dang" which means "money" in the Mongolian language, and it was used as a standard circulation coin during his reign. Despite being made of silver, the coin weighs only 1.55 grams, which is relatively light compared to other coins of similar composition. This may indicate that the coin was intended for small transactions or everyday use.
