Interesting fact
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 minted at the Saray al-Mahrusa mint in the city of Kurmysh. Despite being made of silver, the coin was not valued as highly as other coins made of gold or other precious metals, and it was primarily used for small transactions and everyday use.
