Mintless, but probably from QrimInteresting fact
The Pul coin , issued during the reign of Muhammad Uzbeg (Qrim) of the Golden Horde (1313-1341), is an interesting example of a coin that was used as a form of currency during the Mongol Empire. One fascinating fact about this coin is that it was made of copper, which was a common material used for coins during that time period, but it weighed only 1.3 grams, making it relatively lightweight compared to other coins of similar size and material. This lightweight design may have made it easier for people to carry and use in everyday transactions. Additionally, the fact that it was issued during the reign of Muhammad Uzbeg (Qrim) suggests that it may have been used in trade and commerce within the Golden Horde, which was a powerful and influential empire during that time.
