Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Fractional Dinar - temp. Husayn 762-773 (1361-1372) from Sufid dynasty (Golden Horde) made of Gold weighing 1.15 g is that it was used as a form of currency during the reign of Sultan Husayn, who was the last ruler of the Sufid dynasty. Despite being made of gold, the coin was not worth a significant amount of money, and its value was mostly symbolic. It was used as a means of exchange and was not widely used for large transactions. Instead, it was used for small purchases and was often given as a gift or reward. Today, this coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, and its historical significance makes it an interesting piece of numismatic history.
