| Additional information |
Nawruz Beg's reign over the Golden Horde lasted barely a year — he seized power in 1359 amid the catastrophic period of dynastic fragmentation the Russians called the "Great Troubles," a stretch of roughly twenty years during which the khanate burned through more than a dozen rulers in rapid succession. Azaq, the Genoese trading hub at the mouth of the Don, remained one of the few mints that continued striking through the chaos, its output tied to commercial necessity rather than political stability.
The brevity of his rule makes dated issues from this reign genuinely scarce.
