Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of Islamic and Mongolian influences in its design. The five-rays star with a point at the center is a common motif in Islamic art and architecture, while the 16 puls (or dang) symbols around the edge are a nod to the Mongolian tradition of using such symbols to denote the 16 territories of the Golden Horde. This blending of cultural influences reflects the rich history and diversity of the Golden Horde, which was a Mongol khanate that ruled over a vast territory stretching from Eastern Europe to Central Asia.
