Additional information

Struck at the Qrim mint during the final, chaotic years of Dawlat Berdi's contested rule over the western Golden Horde, this dang falls within a period when the khanate was fracturing under simultaneous pressure from Edigei's successor factions and the expanding influence of Lithuania. Qrim itself would within decades become the seat of the breakaway Crimean Khanate under Haci I Giray.

The 0.8g weight reflects the severe debasement that had progressively reduced dang coinage from its earlier 1.5g standard across the fourteenth century — a slow monetary collapse tracked almost coin by coin through Sagdeeva's typology.
