| Additional information |
The Möngke tamga type takes its name from the reigning Great Khan, Möngke, whose authority the Golden Horde nominally acknowledged during this period. These copper puls circulated as the lowest denomination in a monetary hierarchy that placed silver dirhams far above everyday trade — this was the coin that moved grain, leather, and firewood, not tribute.
Bulghar on the Volga was among the oldest and most commercially active mints in the Horde's territory, operating well before the Mongol conquest reshaped the region's political geography.
