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 features the name of the emir and the date of issue in both Mongolian and Arabic scripts, reflecting the multicultural nature of the Golden Horde's society. Additionally, the use of silver in the coin's minting was a significant departure from the traditional use of copper or other base metals in Mongolian coinage, indicating the wealth and prosperity of the Golden Horde during this period.
