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 1357. During his reign, the Golden Horde was facing economic difficulties, and the production of coins was reduced. As a result, coins like the Dirham "Dang" became scarce and highly valued among collectors.
