| Additional information |
Tochtamysh unified the fractured Golden Horde under a single authority in the early 1380s after years of civil war following the death of Berdibek — the Qrim (Crimea) mint resuming regular silver output under his name was itself a political signal. This piece dates to that consolidation, struck just before his catastrophic 1395 defeat at the hands of Timur effectively ended the Horde as a coherent power.
The 1.4g weight reflects the degraded dirham standard that had drifted significantly from earlier Jochid norms across the preceding decades of fragmentation.
