The Pul coin , which was minted during the reign of Muhammad Uzbeg (also known as Qrim) of the Golden Horde in the 14th century, features an interesting inscription on its reverse side. The inscription, written in the Mongolian language, reads "Power and success" and is surrounded by a stylized representation of a dragon. This design was meant to symbolize the power and prosperity of the Golden Horde, which was a vast Mongol khanate that stretched from Eastern Europe to Central Asia. The fact that the coin was made of copper, a relatively inexpensive metal, suggests that it was intended for everyday use by the people of the Golden Horde, rather than being a rare or commemorative issue.
