| Additional information |
These years correspond to the bitter succession struggle following the death of Shadi Beg, when the western steppe was being fought over by rival khans backed by different Jochid factions. Azaq — the port city at the mouth of the Don known to Europeans as Tana — remained one of the few mints that continued striking through the chaos, its commercial importance to Genoese traders providing an economic incentive to keep coin flowing regardless of who nominally held the throne.
At 0.85g, this piece falls at the lower end of the degraded late Golden Horde weight standard, reflecting decades of incremental reduction rather than any single debasement event.
