Interesting fact
This coin was minted during the reign of Muhammad Uzbeg, who ruled over the Golden Horde, a Mongol khanate that existed from the 13th to the 14th century. The coin features Arabic inscriptions and likely circulated in Crimea, which was known as Qrim al-Jadidah during that period. Its copper composition and relatively small weight suggest it was designed for everyday transactions within the local economy.
