Interesting fact
The Golden Horde Pul (Zafar countermark) ND (1370-1380) coin made of Copper was used as a form of currency during the Golden Horde Empire, which was a Mongol khanate that ruled over much of Eastern Europe and Central Asia during the 13th to 14th centuries. The coin features an interesting blend of Islamic and Mongolian influences in its design, reflecting the cultural diversity of the empire. The coin's obverse side features a stylized Arabic inscription, while the reverse side features a Mongolian motif of a dragon or phoenix. This coin is a rare and valuable artifact for collectors and historians interested in the history of the Mongol Empire and its influence on the region.
