Interesting fact

The Pul "Axe type" coin was issued during the reign of Tochtamysh, a prominent leader of the Golden Horde, who ruled from 1380 to 1406. This coin was part of a series of coins issued during his reign that featured a unique "axe" design on one side, which is why it's known as the "Axe type" coin. This design was likely chosen to symbolize Tochtamysh's military prowess and strength as a leader.
