See Zeno 161999 https://www.zeno.ru/showphoto.php?photo=161999Interesting fact
The Dirham "Dang" - Urus (Sygnaq) ND (1372-1373) from White Horde (Golden Horde) is an interesting coin because it was used as a form of currency during the 14th century in the region of the Golden Horde, which was a Mongol khanate that ruled over much of Eastern Europe and Central Asia. Despite being made of silver, the coin was not valued for its precious metal content, but rather for its utility as a medium of exchange. This highlights the importance of currency as a tool for facilitating trade and commerce, even in the absence of intrinsic value.
