Kebek (Kibak) Khan 718-725AH (1318-1326)Interesting fact
Kebek Khan, who ruled the Chagatai Khanate during the early 14th century, is notable for standardizing coinage within the khanate, which facilitated trade and economic stability in the region. His reign marked a significant shift towards a more organized monetary system, as he adopted a uniform silver dirham that became widely used across his territories, enhancing both local commerce and tribute payments to the greater Mongol Empire.
