Comment
This type is reported in Stephen Album, and is said to have possibly been struck in Kazan (however, with the mint being unlisted on the coin itself, it could have been struck at another mint within the territory of the Kazan Khanate).
Interesting fact
The Dirham coin is interesting because it was issued during the reign of Ulugh Muhammad, who was the first Khan of the Kazan Khanate, a Tatar state that existed between the 14th and 16th centuries in the territory of modern-day Russia and Ukraine. The coin is made of silver and weighs 0.58 grams, which was a significant weight for a coin during that time period. Additionally, the fact that it was issued during the early years of the Kazan Khanate's establishment makes it a rare and valuable piece for collectors and historians.
