Additional information

Jani Beg's reign over the Golden Horde coincided with one of the most catastrophic events in Eurasian history: the Black Death swept through the western steppe territories in precisely these years, carried along the very trade routes that made Saray al-Jadida a functioning mint city. The plague reached Crimea by 1346, partly through Mongol siege operations at Caffa — a connection documented in contemporary Genoese accounts.

Sagdeeva's dual references reflect recognized die or administrative variants within this single year's output, a common feature of Jani Beg's prolific silver coinage.
