One interesting fact about the Dirham "Dang" coin is that it was issued during the reign of Jani Beg, who was the Khan of the Golden Horde from 1342 to 1357. The coin features the name "Gulistan" on one side, which refers to the garden or paradise that was said to be the Khan's favorite place. The coin's design also includes a stylized representation of a horse, which was a symbol of power and strength in Mongolian culture. Despite being made of silver, the coin weighs only 1.5 grams, making it a relatively small and portable form of currency.
