Comment
This pul from the time of H.M. Frehn until the beginning of the 21st century (Pyrsov, 2002, No. 355) belonged to the coinage of Toktamysh, because the year of its issue was read as 797 AH. Only quite recently, having simultaneously 5 examples of this very rare pool, it was found (Klokov, Lebedev, 2010, p. 454 No. 32/5) that the number of tens of the year is not 9, but 2, and the year is not 797, but 727 with a mirror-cut figure 2 = 6 and the correct date is 767 AH
Interesting fact
This coin features a swastika-like symbol, which was common in pre-Islamic Turkic art and later adopted by Nazi Germany during World War II.
