Isle of Man 2010 “Kublai Khan” Silver Crown Proof. Kublai Khan, grandson of Genghis Khan, became the fifth Grand Khan of the Mongol Empire 750 years ago in 1260. His sprawling kingdom, one of the largest ever, was visited by the famous European explorer Marco Polo. Struck by the award-winning Pobjoy Mint, this unusual commemorative silver proof is shaped like “Paiza,” a money-like tablet that was used for commerce. The impressive packaging includes an antique-effect box, a silk cord for wearing the coin as a pendant and a certificate of authenticity.
