Interesting fact
The Dirham "Dang" coin was issued during the reign of Jani Beg, who was the Khan of the Golden Horde from 1342 to 1357. The coin was minted in the city of Saray al-Jadida (also known as New Sarai), which was the capital of the Golden Horde at the time. The coin is made of silver and weighs 1.5 grams, which was a significant weight for a coin during that time period. It's interesting to note that the Golden Horde was a Mongol khanate that ruled over much of Eastern Europe and Central Asia during the 13th and 14th centuries. The Dirham "Dang" coin is a rare and valuable artifact from this time period, and it provides a glimpse into the economic and cultural practices of the Golden Horde.
