One interesting fact about the Dirham "Dang" coin is that it was issued during the reign of Ulugh Muhammad, also known as Il-Uy Mu'azzam, who was the Khan of the Golden Horde from 1419 to 1421. The coin was made of silver and weighed 0.85 grams, which was a significant weight for a coin at that time. Despite its small size, the Dirham "Dang" coin played an important role in the economy of the Golden Horde, which was a powerful Mongol khanate that controlled much of Eastern Europe and Central Asia during the 13th to 14th centuries.
