Comment
Toqta (Tokhta, Tokhtai, Tochtu or Tokhtogha) (1270—1312/13) was a khan of the Golden Horde, son of Mengu-Timur and great grandson of Batu Khan. He was a khan of the Golden Horde in 1291—1312. His name "Tokhtokh" means "hold/holding" in the Mongolian language.
Interesting fact
This coin features a unique design element - it replaces the year with a star symbol, which was uncommon for coins during that time period. This unusual feature makes the Yarmaq-Toqta coin stand out among other circulating coins from the same era.
