Comment
Interesting fact
This coin features a unique design element: it bears the image of Jani Beg, the Khan of the Golden Horde, who ruled during the period when Saray al-Jadida was the capital city. The coin's obverse side displays Jani Beg's portrait, while the reverse side shows the city walls of Saray al-Jadida. This combination of royal portrait and urban landscape makes this coin particularly noteworthy among other coins from the same era.
