The Dirham "Dang" - Tochtamysh (Qrim) 796 (1394) from Golden Horde is an interesting coin because it was used as a form of currency during the reign of Khan Tochtamysh, who was known for his military campaigns and administrative reforms in the Golden Horde. Despite being made of silver, the coin weighs only 1 gram, which is relatively light compared to other coins of similar composition. This may have made it more accessible to the average person for everyday transactions. Additionally, the coin's design features a unique blend of Islamic and Mongolian influences, reflecting the cultural diversity of the Golden Horde.
