| Additional information |
Jani Beg's reign marked the political apex of the Golden Horde, and his Khwarizm mint was one of the most active in his western Central Asian territories — a commercial hub on the trade routes connecting the Caspian steppe to Transoxiana. This pul dates to just two years before the Black Death devastated the Horde's population and trade networks, reaching Crimea via Mongol-controlled routes by 1346–47 and killing a reported third of the Horde's urban population within a decade.
Khwarizm-struck copper from this reign is notably variable in flan quality, a product of local workshop conditions rather than any central mint standard.
