Comment
The opinion exists, that coins dated both 742 and 746 AH in reality were struck in 744 AH with frozen date of enthronation "742 AH" in normal and inverted positions.
Interesting fact
This coin features a unique combination of Islamic and Mongol influences, reflecting the cultural exchange between Central Asia and Eastern Europe during the Golden Horde period. The use of Arabic script alongside Mongolian elements demonstrates the linguistic diversity present in the region at that time.
