Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Dirham issued by Qaidu bin Kashin from the Chagatai Khanate is that it was part of a historical currency system that evolved from the Greek drachma, reflecting a long tradition of trade and cultural exchange across regions, particularly in the Islamic world, where it became a significant unit of currency used in various territories from North Africa to parts of Europe during the medieval period.
