Interesting fact
The interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Khizr II, who was the Khan of the Golden Horde, a Mongol khanate that ruled over much of Eastern Europe and Central Asia during the 13th and 14th centuries. The coin features the name "Sygnaq Gulistan" which means "Garden of Roses" in Persian, indicating the cultural influence of the Persian language in the region. Additionally, the fact that it was made of silver and weighs 1.06g suggests that it was a widely used and valued currency during that time.
