Dirham 'Dang' - Khizr Azaq mint

Khizr Khan's reign over the Golden Horde lasted barely two years before he was murdered in 1361, making issues from his brief rule among the most historically compressed coinage of the entire Jochid sequence. The Azaq mint — the Horde's major commercial hub on the Don estuary, known to Genoese merchants as Tana — was one of the few operating consistently through the dynastic chaos of the 1360s, a period later called the Great Troubles, or Velikaya Zamyatnya, during which the khanate cycled through more than two dozen claimants in roughly twenty years.

Sagdeeva's corpus remains the primary reference for classifying these Azaq dirhams by die pairing.
