Interesting fact
The Dirham "Dang" coin from the Golden Horde, made of silver and weighing 1.5g, is interesting because it was used as a form of currency during the 14th century in the region that is now modern-day Russia and Ukraine. Despite being made of a valuable metal like silver, the coin was designed with a relatively low weight, indicating that it was intended for everyday transactions and reflecting the economic conditions of the time. Additionally, the coin's design features a unique blend of Islamic and Mongolian influences, reflecting the cultural diversity of the Golden Horde and its position as a crossroads of trade and cultural exchange.
