Additional information

Shadi Beg ruled the Golden Horde during one of its most violent periods of fragmentation — his reign coincided almost exactly with Timur's devastating campaigns across the western steppe, which had shattered the Horde's political coherence by the late 1390s. Minting at Hajji Tarkhan (Astrakhan) during this window signals an attempt to project functional authority from one of the Volga delta's key trading nodes, even as rival khans contested legitimacy elsewhere.

The Sagdeeva #486 attribution places this among a documented but relatively small corpus of Shadi Beg issues from this mint.
