Interesting fact
The Muhammad Uzbeg Dirham coin from the Golden Horde is interesting because it was made of silver, which was a valuable and durable material at the time, and it weighed 1.36 grams, which was a significant weight for a coin of its size. This suggests that the coin was intended to be a high-value denomination and was likely used for large transactions or as a store of value. Additionally, the fact that it was minted in the Azaq mint, which was located in the region of the Golden Horde, indicates that it was a widely circulated coin in the region and played an important role in the economy of the time.
