Comment
Sagdeeva attributed it wrongly at Muhammed Khan 771
Interesting fact
The Dirham "Dang" coin was issued during the reign of Jani Beg, who was the Khan of the Golden Horde from 1346 to 1369. The coin was made of silver and weighed 1.34 grams, which was a relatively small weight for a coin at that time. Despite its small size, the coin was still widely used in trade and commerce throughout the Golden Horde's territories. It's worth noting that the Golden Horde was a powerful Mongol khanate that controlled a vast territory stretching from Eastern Europe to Central Asia during the 13th to 14th centuries. The Dirham "Dang" coin was one of the many coins issued by the Golden Horde during its reign, and it remains an interesting piece of history for numismatists and collectors today.
