Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pul - temp. Beg Sufi (Qrim) 823 (1420) coin from the Golden Horde is that it was made of copper, which was a common material for coins during that time period. Copper was a readily available resource and was often used for currency due to its durability and resistance to corrosion. The use of copper for coins also made it easier for people to recognize and trust the currency, as it had a distinct color and weight that was familiar to them. Additionally, the coin's design, which features an inscription in Arabic and a stylized image of a horseman, is a reflection of the cultural and artistic influences of the Golden Horde, which was a Mongol khanate that ruled over much of Eastern Europe and Central Asia during the 13th and 14th centuries.
