Dirham 'Dang' - Nawruz Beg Gulistan mint

Nawruz Beg ruled the western Golden Horde for roughly two years during the catastrophic fragmentation known to Russian chroniclers as the "Great Troubles" — a period between 1359 and 1380 when the khanate cycled through more than twenty khans, many lasting only months before assassination or displacement. Gulistan, the administrative mint city on the lower Volga, continued striking even as political control above it convulsed. That continuity is precisely why attributing these small silver dangs to specific rulers matters: the mint record becomes one of the few reliable chronological anchors for the period.
