Interesting fact

The interesting fact about this coin is that it features two tamghas, or stamps, on its reverse side, which were used to validate its authenticity and denomination. These tamghas were unique to the Saqche Khanate and were used during the reign of Noghay, who was the Khan of the Golden Horde from 1270 to 1300. This coin is a rare example of a silver dirham from this time period and is highly sought after by collectors.
