Interesting fact
The Pul coin with the Möngke tamga (Bulghar) symbol on it was used during the Golden Horde's rule in the 13th century. It's interesting to note that the Golden Horde was a Mongol khanate that ruled over present-day Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, and parts of Eastern Europe. The use of this coin shows the influence of the Mongol Empire on the region's currency and trade.
