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. The coin features the name "Dang" which means "money" in the Mongolian language, and it was used as a standard circulation coin during that time.
