The Dirham "Dang" coin was issued during the reign of Jani Beg, who was the Khan of the Golden Horde from 1342 to 1357. The coin was minted in the city of Gulistan, which was an important center of trade and commerce during that time. The fact that the coin was made of silver is interesting because it suggests that the Golden Horde had access to a significant supply of this valuable metal, which was likely obtained through trade with other regions. Additionally, the use of silver in coinage was a common practice among many medieval societies, as it was seen as a symbol of wealth and prosperity.
