GOLDEN HORDE: "Jani Beg, deceased", ca. 1366-1367, AR dirham (1.58g), ND, A-2045S, BMC-424, obverse legend arranged in four boxes, with a central ornament, kalima on reverse in elegant calligraphy, choice Very Fine, RR, ex. Tony Ettinger collection. Although this type clearly cites the long deceased Jani Beg (d. AH758), the term marhum ("deceased") is not included. That word appears on another type of "Jani Beg" dated 767 (BMC-423), thus clearly confirming that the indicated "ruler" was not a Jani Beg II, as was once assumed.
