Additional information

Jani Beg's reign marked the political apex of the Golden Horde, and 1352 sits in a grim historical pocket: the Black Death was tearing through the western steppe that year, having already devastated the Horde's trading cities along the Silk Road. Gulistan, as one of the primary mints of the lower Volga region, continued striking dirhams through the epidemic — the administrative machinery did not stop for plague.

Sagdeeva #209 places this squarely in the standard Jani Beg Gulistan sequence. The Zeno catalogue reference confirms a well-documented type, not a rarity, though Gulistan mint output drops sharply in the years immediately following 1352.
