| Additional information |
Sati Beg was the only woman to reign as Ilkhan, placed on the throne in 1338 by the Chupanid amir Hasan Kuchak after a succession of short-lived male rulers had destabilized what remained of the Ilkhanate. Her coinage — struck in her name with the Ilkhan title — is numismatic evidence of Chupanid political theater: the coins legitimized Hasan Kuchak's power while projecting the fiction of a functioning Mongol succession. She was deposed within a year and married off to a rival claimant, Togha Temür.
