Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the "½ Dangi" Fals coin from the Timurid Empire is that it was issued during the reign of Timur (also known as Tamerlane), a powerful Mongol emperor who conquered a vast portion of the known world, creating a vast empire that stretched from Central Asia to the Middle East, Russia, and India. Despite his military conquests, Timur was also known for his administrative and economic reforms, which helped to promote trade, commerce, and cultural exchange throughout his empire. The "½ Dangi" Fals coin, which was made of copper and weighed 2.89 grams, was likely used for everyday transactions and reflects the economic and monetary systems that were in place during Timur's rule.
