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. However, the coin's weight and material (silver) suggest that it was also influenced by Islamic coinage traditions, which typically used silver as the primary metal for coinage. This blending of styles reflects the cultural exchange and syncretism that occurred during the Golden Horde period, making this coin a fascinating piece of history.
