Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique "threatening legend" on its reverse side, which depicts a Mongol warrior holding a sword and a shield, with a fierce expression on his face. This design was meant to convey the power and strength of the Mongol Empire, which was at its peak during the reign of Ögedei Khan, who ruled from 1227 to 1241. The use of a silver-plated copper material for the coin also speaks to the resourcefulness and craftsmanship of the Mongol Empire's minting technology during this time period.
