Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Tochtamysh, who was a powerful khan of the Golden Horde, a Mongol khanate that ruled over much of Eastern Europe and Central Asia during the 13th and 14th centuries. Tochtamysh was known for his military campaigns against the Timurid Empire and his efforts to centralize power within the Golden Horde. The coin's design and inscriptions reflect the cultural and religious influences of the time, with the use of Arabic script and Islamic symbols.
