Dirham 'Dang' - Berdi Beg Alagiz mint

Berdi Beg came to power by ordering the execution of his father Janibeg in 1357 — one of several violent successions that accelerated the Golden Horde's political fragmentation in the second half of the fourteenth century. His reign lasted barely two years before he was killed by his own brother. Coins struck at peripheral mints like Alagiz during this window are scarce precisely because the administrative machinery of the Horde was already under strain.

The Alagiz mint, located in the Caucasus region, operated intermittently under Jochid authority. This piece's 1.05g weight sits below the standard dang norm, consistent with known weight drift in Horde silver during the late 1350s.
