Https://www.zeno.ru/showgallery.php?cat=5999Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Timur, also known as Tamerlane, who was a powerful Mongol emperor who ruled over a vast empire that included present-day Central Asia, Afghanistan, and parts of Iran, Russia, and China. He is considered one of the greatest conquerors in history and is known for his military campaigns and cultural achievements. The coin was minted during his reign, which lasted from 1370 to 1405, and it is a rare and valuable example of numismatic art from the Timurid Empire.
