Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Jani Beg, who was the Khan of the Golden Horde from 1342 to 1355. During his reign, the Golden Horde was one of the most powerful Mongol khanates, and its capital city, Sarai, was a major center of trade and culture. The coin itself is made of silver and weighs 1.53 grams, which was a significant amount for a circulating coin at that time.
