Interesting fact

The interesting fact about this coin is that 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 the inscription "Power to Allah" in Arabic, indicating the influence of Islam on the culture and religion of the region at that time.
