| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field occupied by a multi-line Arabic legend in bold, angular script, reading 'al-Sultan al-Adil Khidr Khan' (the Just Sultan Khidr Khan), arranged in three horizontal lines across the flan. The lettering is boldly struck in high relief, characteristic of Golden Horde hammered coinage. The irregular flan edge, typical of 14th-century Jochid dirhams, frames the inscription without a formal border. Diacritical marks and decorative flourishes are present, lending the legend a vigorous calligraphic quality. The field is plain, with no figural imagery, consistent with Islamic numismatic convention. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Khizr Khan's reign over the Golden Horde lasted barely two years before he was murdered in 1361, one casualty in the violent succession crisis that would fracture the khanate into what Russian sources call the "Great Troubles" — a twenty-year period of civil war during which over two dozen khans cycled through power. Azaq, the port city at the mouth of the Don known to Europeans as Tana, was a commercial hub heavily trafficked by Venetian and Genoese merchants, which kept its mint active even as political authority collapsed around it.
The Zeno catalogue reference places this piece within a small documented group; Azaq-mint issues from Khizr's reign are not common given how briefly he held nominal control over the western steppe.
