From the Article by F. Yermolov, R. Reva and B. Leonov about coins of this ruler (in Russian):
Shibanid Pulad Khoja (Khwaja), who was the son of Ming Timur and the father of Arabshah khan minted coins in Gulistan alJadida in AH 766 and in Saraichuk in AH 775. After the issues of Pulad Khoja in Saraichuk in AH 775 the coins of his brother,
Ilbak Khan, were issued. The question if Pulad Khoja the same person that Khayr Pulad who minted coins in the Sarai al Jadida in AH 764 cannot be resolved unequivocally yet.

Interesting fact
The Dirham "Dang" - Pulad Khoja (Gulistan al-Jadida) 766 (1365) from Golden Horde is a rare example of a coin that was issued during the reign of Pulad Khoja, who was a prominent leader of the Golden Horde, a Mongol khanate that ruled over much of Eastern Europe and Central Asia during the 13th and 14th centuries. This coin is particularly interesting because it was made of silver, which was a valuable and sought-after metal at the time, and it weighs 1.37 grams, which is a relatively small weight for a coin of its size. Additionally, the coin features intricate designs and inscriptions that reflect the cultural and religious influences of the time, making it a valuable piece for collectors and historians.
