Interesting fact

The Dirham coin is interesting because it was issued during the reign of Mangu Timur, who was the Khan of the Golden Horde, a Mongol khanate that ruled over much of Eastern Europe and Central Asia during the 13th century. The coin features an inscription in Arabic that reads "Mangu Timur, Khan of the Mongols" and is made of silver, which was a valuable and widely used metal at the time. The fact that it was issued during Mangu Timur's reign makes it a unique piece of history that provides insight into the economic and political systems of the Golden Horde during that period.
