Interesting fact
The Dirham "Dang" coin from the Golden Horde, made of silver, is interesting because it was used as a form of currency during the reign of Timur (also known as Tamerlane), a powerful Mongol emperor who ruled over a vast empire that included present-day Russia, Ukraine, and parts of Central Asia. Despite being made of silver, the coin was not minted with a high level of precision, resulting in variations in weight and purity. This fact highlights the challenges of producing currency during a time when metallurgy and minting technologies were still developing.
