Additional information

Kildi Beg's reign lasted roughly two years during the so-called "Great Troubles" — the Ulus Jochi's catastrophic succession crisis of the 1360s in which the western steppe saw over a dozen khans rise and fall within two decades. He seized power in the lower Volga region around 1360–61, one of several competing claimants fragmenting what had been a unified polity under Jani Beg. The Azaq mint, serving the major trading entrepôt at the mouth of the Don, continued striking under whoever held local authority — administrative continuity regardless of who sat on the throne.

Sagdeeva's separation into #308 and #309 reflects distinct die combinations rather than separate issues.
