Additional information

The White Horde occupied the eastern wing of the fragmented Mongol empire, controlling the steppe territories between the Ural and Syr Darya rivers. By the early 1370s, the khanate was under sustained pressure from Toqtamish, the Timurid-backed claimant who would eventually unite the White and Blue Hordes under a single banner before his catastrophic defeat at the hands of Timur himself in 1395. Sygnaq, on the middle Syr Darya, served as one of the White Horde's principal administrative mints precisely because of its position on the trade corridor linking Central Asia to the western steppe.

Sagdeeva 359 and 360 represent minor die or calligraphic variants of the same type — a distinction that matters to specialists working the Jochid series but is easily collapsed in general cataloging.
