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 "Jani Beg" in the Mongolian script on one side, and the name "Saray al-Jadida" (meaning "New Saray" in Arabic) on the other side, indicating that it was minted during his reign. This coin is a rare example of a Dirham coin issued during the Golden Horde period, and its silver content and unique design make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
