The Dirham "Dang" coin is quite interesting! One fascinating fact about it is that it was used as a form of currency during the Golden Horde, which was a Mongol khanate that ruled over much of Eastern Europe and Central Asia during the 13th and 14th centuries. The coin was made of silver and weighed 1.43 grams, which was a significant amount for a coin at that time. It's amazing to think about how this coin was used in everyday transactions and played a role in the economy of such a vast and powerful empire!
