Pul - Aziz Shaykh Saray al-Jadida mint

The year 1366 falls squarely within the anarchic period known to historians of the Golden Horde as the "Great Troubles" — a two-decade stretch of dynastic fragmentation beginning around 1359 in which the khanate cycled through more than twenty rulers. Aziz Shaykh was one of the western claimants during this breakdown, his authority confined to specific regional mints rather than the whole Horde apparatus. The Saray al-Jadida mint, the "New Saray" established on the Akhtuba tributary of the Volga, continued striking under successive and often competing claimants throughout this period, making mint attribution more reliable than ruler attribution for placing these coppers in sequence.
