Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Dirham "Dang" - Pulad (Caffa Jadida) 809-812 (1407-1410) from Golden Horde made of Silver is that it was used as a form of currency during the reign of Sultan Pulad, who was the ruler of the Golden Horde, a Mongol khanate that controlled much of Eastern Europe and Central Asia during the 14th century. The coin features an inscription in Arabic that reads "Al-Sultanu al-Azam Pulad" (The Great Sultan Pulad), indicating his name and title. The use of silver in the coin's production was a significant departure from the previous copper coins that were used in the region, and it reflects the growing influence of Islamic culture in the region, as silver was considered a more valuable and prestigious metal in Islamic societies.
