Interesting fact
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 Arabic inscription "al-Sultanu al-Azam" (meaning "the Great Sultan") on the other side. This coin was minted in the city of Saray al-Jadida (also known as New Sarai), which was the capital of the Golden Horde at that time. Despite being made of silver, the Dirham "Dang" coin was not a high-denomination coin and was likely used for everyday transactions.
