Interesting fact
The Dirham issued by Qaidu bin Kashin from the Chagatai Khanate is notable for being part of a historical currency system that facilitated trade across a vast region, including Central Asia and parts of the Middle East, during the 13th century. This coin represents a significant period in Islamic numismatics, as it reflects the cultural and economic exchanges that occurred under Mongol rule, particularly in how local currencies were influenced by earlier Persian and Byzantine systems.
