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 its intricate patterns and lack of inscriptions, which was a common feature of Mongolian coins during this period. Despite being made of silver, the coin weighs only 1.19 grams, which is relatively light compared to other coins of similar composition. This could indicate that the coin was intended for small transactions or was used as a token for trade purposes. Overall, this coin offers a fascinating glimpse into the cultural exchange and economic systems of the Golden Horde during the 13th and 14th centuries.
