YUAN: Da Chao, 1251-1262, AR cash (3.2g), H-19.1, clear reverse stamps, graded 72 by GBCA Grading Company, F-VF, ex Dr. Dirk Löer Collection. Da Chao, meaning "Great Dynasty", was the Chinese name the Mongols used for themselves. According to Hartill, "This [silver] coin is alleged to have been cast by the legendary Genghis Khan at his capital at Karakorum." This would place the date about 50-60 years prior to the formal foundation of the Yuan dynasty in 1271. A more likely attribution by Belyaev & Sidorovich (2017) puts this series between 1251 and 1262 during the reign of Möngke Khan and the early years of Kublai Khan.
