One interesting fact about this coin is that it was used as a form of currency during the Golden Horde, a Mongol khanate that ruled over much of Eastern Europe and Central Asia during the 13th and 14th centuries. Despite being made of silver, the coin was only worth a fraction of a dirham, which was the standard unit of currency at the time. This highlights the diverse range of currencies and exchange systems that have been used throughout history.
