Interesting fact

The Dirham "Dang" - Tochtamysh (Azaq) 786-789 (1384-1387) from Golden Horde is an interesting coin because it was used as a form of currency during the reign of Tochtamysh, a powerful khan of the Golden Horde, who ruled from 1380 to 1395. The coin was made of silver and weighed 1.46 grams, which was a significant amount for a coin at that time. It's fascinating to think about the stories this coin could tell, given its age and the fact that it was used in a vast and powerful empire like the Golden Horde.
