The Pul-Muhammad Uzbeg (Qrim) 725 (1325) coin from the Golden Horde was made of copper, which was a common material for coins during that time period. However, what makes this coin stand out is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Mongolian influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features a Mongolian-style tamga (a symbol used by Mongolian tribes) and the reverse side features an Islamic inscription in Arabic script, indicating the coin's denomination and the name of the ruler, Muhammad Uzbeg. This blending of cultural influences reflects the diverse nature of the Golden Horde, which was a Mongolian khanate that ruled over a vast territory that included present-day Russia, Ukraine, and parts of Central Asia.
