Taghay Timur ruled as the last independent Ilkhanid prince in Khorasan after the main Ilkhanate fragmented following Abu Sa'id's death in 1335 — a collapse that left regional governors scrambling to assert legitimacy through coin production. His issues from this period are notably inconsistent in weight and fabric, reflecting disrupted silver supplies rather than deliberate debasement.
1338 places this piece squarely in the final years of his reign before the Sarbadars effectively ended Ilkhanid authority in the region by 1353.
