Comment
From the time of Batu (1240-1255) and/or Berke (1257-1266), but citing only the Great Mongol, Möngke.
Mongke Khan became the fourth khagan-emperor of the Mongol Empire in 1251 and Batu Khan, who was the founder of the Golden Horde which was a part of the Mongol Empire, became minting coins with his name
Interesting fact
This coin features the name of Möngke Khan, who was a Mongol emperor and the grandson of Genghis Khan. The coin likely circulated during the reigns of either Batu Khan or Berke Khan, both prominent leaders of the Golden Horde.
