Interesting fact
The Dirham - Toqta (Khwarizm) 694-709 (1295-1310) from Golden Horde is an interesting coin because it was used as a form of currency during the Mongol Empire's expansion into Eastern Europe and the Middle East. It was made of silver and weighed 1.3 grams, which was a significant amount for a coin at that time. The coin's design featured the name of the ruler, Toqta, and the mintage date, which helped to establish its authenticity and value. Despite being over 700 years old, some of these coins can still be found in good condition and are highly sought after by collectors and historians.
