Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Mongolian influences in its design. The coin's ornamental type designation refers to the intricate patterns and motifs that adorn its surface, which are a combination of Islamic calligraphy and Mongolian symbols. This blending of cultures reflects the historical context in which the coin was minted, during the period of the Golden Horde, a Mongol khanate that ruled over a vast territory including present-day Russia, Ukraine, and parts of Central Asia.
