Interesting fact

The "Star type" (Sygnaq) 738 (1338) coin from the White Horde (Golden Horde) features a unique star-shaped design on its reverse side, which is not found on other coins from the same era. This distinctive feature has led some numismatists to speculate that the coin may have been minted to commemorate a special event or occasion, such as a military victory or a royal wedding. Despite its relatively small weight of 1.5 grams, the coin is highly sought after by collectors due to its rarity and historical significance.
