Interesting fact
This coin is part of the Golden Horde's fractional dirham series, which was used during the 13th century in Eastern Europe. The coin weighs approximately 0.32 grams and features a silver composition typical of medieval coins from this region. Its small size and weight suggest it was designed as a subunit within the larger dirham system, allowing for more precise transactions in everyday commerce.
