COIN DANG — WHERE & WHEN (coins catalog: by names & emitents)
The etymology of the name of the dang coin has Persian roots. In translation, the term means "part" (probably a gold dinar). In turn, the Russian word "money", according to one version, comes from the name of this coin (the history of Russia, in general, is very closely linked with the history of the Golden Horde).
