Comment
Variant 807 AH (Sagdeeva #477):
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Shadi Beg, who was a powerful emir of the Golden Horde, a Mongol khanate that ruled over much of Eastern Europe and Central Asia during the 13th and 14th centuries. The coin's design and inscriptions reflect the cultural and religious influences of the time, with the name "Dang" meaning "money" in the Mongolian language and the use of Arabic script on the coin's reverse side. Despite its small size and relatively low weight, this coin is a valuable piece of history that provides insight into the economic and political systems of the Golden Horde during its time.
