One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Khan Tododduya (1280-1310) of the Golden Horde, a Mongol khanate that ruled over much of Eastern Europe and Central Asia during the 13th and 14th centuries. The coin features an ornamental design on one side and an inscription in the Bulgarian alphabet on the other, indicating the influence of Bulgarian culture on the Golden Horde during this period. Additionally, the use of silver in the coin's minting suggests that the Golden Horde had access to significant resources of precious metals during this time.
