Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Fals - Möngke (Tiflis) 652 coin is that it was issued during the reign of Möngke Khan, who was the fourth emperor of the Mongol Empire and ruled from 1251 to 1259. This coin was part of a new currency system introduced by Möngke Khan to replace the old system of paper money and to promote trade and commerce within the empire. The coin features an inscription in Mongolian script on one side and a stylized representation of a dragon on the other. Despite its small size and relatively low value, this coin is considered a rare and valuable collector's item today, with some specimens selling for thousands of dollars at auction.
