Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Dirham "Dang" coin is that it was issued during the reign of Timur Khoja, also known as Tamerlane, who was a powerful Mongol emperor who ruled over a vast territory that included present-day Uzbekistan, Afghanistan, and parts of Russia. The coin was minted in the city of Saray al-Jadida, which was the capital of the Golden Horde, a Mongol khanate that controlled much of Eastern Europe and Central Asia during the 13th and 14th centuries. The fact that the coin was made of silver suggests that it was a valuable and important form of currency during this time period.
