Turko–Mongols, Timurids or Shaybanids, Bronze Dangi

These bronze dangis were struck by the Turko-Mongols of Central Asia, specifically during the reigns of the Timurid or early Shaybanid dynasties.

All four khanates of the original Mongol Empire had collapsed by the year 1368, but this did not mark the end of Mongol-style governance and culture. Rather, this tradition would be continued by the Turko-Mongols, an ethnocultural group that formed as the Mongols gradually adopted the Turkic languages and Islamic religion of their conquered subjects.

The Turko-Mongols established several successor states to the Mongol Empire, including the Timurid Empire and the Shaybanid dynasty. They carried forward many Mongol principles, with Timur, the founder of the Timurid dynasty, even envisioning himself as the warlord who would restore Genghis Khan's empire.

These bronze dangi coins likely circulated widely across Central Asia’s Mongol successor states, serving as a regional currency rather than a local one. They are often found heavily worn and in large hoards, indicating frequent use. Most were issued anonymously, without the name of any particular ruler, and the crude striking of these coins reflects a focus on utility over design.

Each includes a Certificate of Authenticity and is guaranteed genuine.
