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 1345 to 1357. During his reign, the Golden Horde was facing economic difficulties, and the issuance of this coin was likely an attempt to address these issues by introducing a new, lighter weight silver coin that could be used for everyday transactions. Despite its small size, the coin still maintained a high level of craftsmanship and design, featuring intricate details and calligraphy that reflected the cultural and artistic achievements of the Golden Horde.
