Comment
Interesting fact
The "Double Seal of Solomon" Dirham coin from the Golden Horde is an interesting piece of history because it features a unique blend of Islamic and Mongolian influences. The coin's design includes the traditional Islamic crescent moon and star, but also features the Mongolian emblem of the double seal of Solomon, which represents the unity of the Mongolian tribes. This coin is a rare example of the cultural exchange and fusion that occurred during the Mongol Empire's reign.
