Additional information

Nawruz was a usurper who seized the Golden Horde throne amid the catastrophic succession crisis known as the "Great Troubles" — a twenty-year period beginning around 1359 in which the Horde splintered through dynastic violence, with over a dozen khans rising and falling within two decades. Gulistan, on the lower Volga, served as one of the principal mints during this chaos, and coins struck there under Nawruz's brief authority are among the more historically charged artifacts of Horde disintegration.

Sagdeeva 291 is a scarce type; Nawruz held power only fleetingly before his own removal and death.
