Mintage of the Golden Horde and the Crimean Khanate

History in coins is the domain of the Emeryk Hutten-Czapski Museum: the exhibition Mintage of the Golden Horde and the Crimean Khanate takes us back in time to the Mongol empire founded in the early 13th century by the great leader Genghis Khan. At the turn of the 14th century, the land of the Golden Horde reached as far west as the Caucasus and the Black Sea, but in 1502 its halcyon days came to an end with an invasion of the Crimean Khanate. The turbulent history has been immortalised on silver and copper coins used at the time.
