Dirham 'Dang' - Jani Beg Khwarizm mint

Jani Beg's reign over the Golden Horde ran from 1342 to 1357 and marked the political apex of the khanate — the moment before the dynastic implosion that followed his death. Khwarizm, the mint city here, was a critical commercial hub on the Silk Road, and its output during this period reflects the volume of trade passing through the lower Amu Darya region rather than any ceremonial function.

The "dang" denomination was the standard unit of Jani Beg's monetary system, struck across multiple mints simultaneously. Cross-referencing Sagdeeva #267 with Zeno specimens shows meaningful die variation across Khwarizm output, worth examining before attribution is finalized.
