| Additional information |
Jani Beg's reign over the Golden Horde coincided with one of the most catastrophic demographic events in Eurasian history — the Black Death swept through the steppe territories in the late 1340s, decimating populations along the Silk Road trade routes that were the Horde's economic lifeline. This 1352 issue from Saray al-Jadida, the "New Saray" founded upstream from the original capital, was struck just years after the plague's peak mortality on the western steppe.
Jani Beg himself died in 1357, after which the Horde entered a prolonged succession crisis that effectively ended centralized Mongol authority over the region within a generation.
