Comment
R. Savosta in the "Catalogue of Hajji Tarkhan silver coins since 831 AH" described 29 pairs of stams for the Mustafa khan Dirhams of Hajji Tarkhan mint (see below)
Interesting fact
The Dirham coin is interesting because it was issued during the reign of Mustafa (Hajji Tarkhan), who was a prominent leader of the Golden Horde, a Mongol khanate that ruled over much of Eastern Europe and Central Asia during the 13th and 14th centuries. The coin's design and inscriptions reflect the cultural and religious influences of the time, with the name of the ruler and the date of issue written in both Mongolian and Arabic scripts. Additionally, the use of silver as the material for the coin speaks to the importance of trade and commerce during this period, as silver was a highly valued commodity in the region.
