Interesting fact
The Dirham "Dang" - Tochtamysh (Ordu al-Jadida) 791 (1389) from Golden Horde is an interesting coin because it was issued during the reign of Tochtamysh, a powerful khan who ruled the Golden Horde from 1380 to 1406. He was known for his military campaigns and his efforts to centralize power, and this coin may have been issued as a way to promote his image and authority. Additionally, the fact that it is made of silver and weighs 1.25 grams suggests that it was a significant coin with a high value, possibly used for large transactions or as a symbol of wealth and status.
