Comment
All the coins of Tash-Timur were minted in the city of Qrim with the date 796. Fraen, Saveliev and Lebedev claimed that coins dated 797 exist. Stephen Album claimed that an example with the date quite clearly 799 was discovered. But there are no evidence confirmed such statements.
According to Yu.V. Zayonchkovskiy (as well as to R. Z. Sagdeeva) there are 3 types the silver coins of Tash Timur differ by the text on obverse. Type 3 is with the text: Sultan / the Just Ta / sh Timur, so the name of the khan is on the lines 2 and 3, and the text is without "Let's his rule to be long".
Interesting fact
The Dirham "Dang" - Tash Timur (Qrim mint, type 3) 796 (1394) from Golden Horde is an interesting coin because it was used as a form of currency during the reign of Tamerlane, a powerful Mongol emperor who conquered a vast portion of the known world in the 14th century. The coin's design features an inscription in Arabic that reads "Tash Timur," which means "Stone of Timur," likely referring to a legendary stone that was said to have been brought from the mountains of Badakhshan by Tamerlane himself. The coin's silver content and unique design make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists and historians interested in the history of Central Asia and the Mongol Empire.
