Struck at Gulistan — one of the principal mints of the Golden Horde's lower Volga heartland — this dang dates to the reign of Aziz Shaykh, a ruler who held power for barely three years amid the catastrophic factional violence known to Russian chronicles as the "Great Troubles." Between roughly 1359 and 1380, the Horde cycled through over two dozen khans, many ruling simultaneously in rival territories. Gulistan issues from this window are accordingly short-lived, making clean attributions to specific reigns genuinely uncommon.
