| Beschrijving voorzijde | Arabic legend in multiple lines occupying the central field, invoking the name of Khan Shadi Beg, struck from an obverse die of the Azaq (Azov) mint type. The inscription is set within a plain border, typical of late Golden Horde hammered coinage, with the irregular flan showing characteristic flat and weak areas at the periphery. The script is rendered in a cursive Arabic hand consistent with early 15th-century Jochid monetary conventions. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A second obverse die citing Khan Shadi Beg, producing a two-obverse mule — both dies bear the khan's name rather than the customary mint and date reverse type. The Arabic inscription fills the central field in horizontal lines, with decorative elements and border dots partially visible along the irregular coin edge. The strike is characteristic of the late Golden Horde period: shallow and uneven, with portions of the legend off-flan due to the irregular planchet. |

Shadi Beg ruled the Golden Horde from roughly 1399 to 1407, a period of severe fragmentation following Timur's devastating campaigns that effectively broke Mongol power west of the Volga. Mules — coins struck from two obverse dies — appear with unusual frequency in Golden Horde silver from this period, almost certainly a consequence of degraded mint organization and the reuse of worn or mismatched die pairs by undisciplined or overwhelmed mint workers.
The Azaq mint, located at the mouth of the Don near the Sea of Azov, had been an important commercial striking point servicing Black Sea trade. Its output during Shadi Beg's reign is irregular precisely because central authority over provincial mints had largely collapsed after Timur's sack of Sarai in 1395.
