Comment
Interesting fact
The Dirham - Toqta (Saray) 691-693 (1292-1294) coin from the Golden Horde made of Silver is interesting because it was used as a form of currency during the Mongol Empire's rule over present-day Russia, Ukraine, and parts of Kazakhstan. The coin features an inscription in Arabic that reads "Al-Sultanu al-Azam" which means "The Greatest Sultan" and was minted during the reign of Sultan Toqta, the third ruler of the Golden Horde. This coin is a rare and valuable artifact that provides insight into the economic and cultural history of the region during that time period.
