Comment
Not mentioned in Sagdeeva (close to the #207).According to the article by F. Yermolov, it is unlikely that this type was minted in Gulistan because of the calligraphy style and places of finding such coins. Most probably they were minted at Transcaucasia region around the year 757, probably during an expedition of the Khan. Also they may be minted in Tabriz, because some of the obverse dies (#2, 3) were used in a pair with Tabriz reverse (#4) with the date 757.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Jani Beg, who was the Khan of the Golden Horde from 1342 to 1357. Despite being minted in the 14th century, the coin still features a unique blend of Islamic and Mongolian influences in its design, reflecting the cultural diversity of the Golden Horde's territories.
