Interesting fact
The Dirham "Dang" - Pulad (Khwarizm) 810-814 (1407-1411) from Golden Horde is an interesting coin because it was used as a form of currency during the reign of Pulad, 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. Despite being made of silver, the coin weighs only 1.13 grams, making it a relatively lightweight and portable form of currency for its time. This fact highlights the resourcefulness and adaptability of the Golden Horde in minting coins that were both practical and valuable for trade and commerce.
