Additional information

Kildi Beg ruled for a matter of months during the most violent stretch of the Golden Horde's internal collapse — the period Russian chronicles call the Velikaya Zamyatnya, or "Great Troubles," which saw more than twenty khans seize power between 1359 and 1380. Azaq, the Mongol port city at the mouth of the Don known to Genoese traders as Tana, remained one of the few mints still producing copper pul through this chaos, largely because commercial demand from the Black Sea trade refused to pause for dynastic violence.

Kildi Beg's coinage is poorly documented precisely because his reign ended before administrative records could catch up with events.
