The Dirham "Dang" - Tochtamysh (Khwarizm) 784-790 (1383-1388) from Golden Horde is an interesting coin because it was issued during the reign of Tochtamysh, a powerful khan who ruled the Golden Horde, a Mongol khanate that controlled much of Eastern Europe and Central Asia during the 14th century. The coin is made of silver and weighs 1.29 grams, which was a significant weight for a coin at that time. It is also notable for its unique design, which features a stylized image of a horseman on one side and an inscription in Arabic on the other. The coin's design and weight reflect the influence of Islamic culture and the importance of trade and commerce during the Golden Horde's reign.
