 [No title]
Toktamish, the son of the murdered man, fled at the news of his father's death and sought refuge at the court of Timur, who received him with honour and at once agreed to espouse his cause.
Toktamish, though defeated, was not subdued, and in 1395 Timur found it necessary again to undertake a campaign against him.
They were constantly engaged in wars with the Russians and the Krim Tatars, with whom the Russians had allied themselves, and by degrees their empire decayed, until, on the seizure and death of Ahmed Khan at the beginning of the 16th century, the domination of the Golden Horde came to an end.

The Russian general, who was invited to Toktamish's tent, was there slain and at the same time the signal was given for a general slaughter.
With better fortune, the inhabitants of Pereslavl and Kolomna escaped with their lives from the troops of Toktamish, but at the expense of their cities, which were burned to the ground.
Here envoys arrived from Toktamish bearing presents and a message asking pardon for his past conduct; but Timur was inexorable, and, though he treated the messengers with consideration, he paid no attention to their prayer.

His conquests to the west and north-west led him among the Mongols of the Caspian sea and to the banks of the Ural and the Volga; those to the south and south-West comprehended almost every province in Persia, including Bagdad, Kerbela and Kurdistan.
It was not until 1395 that the power of Toktamish was finally broken.
In 1398, when Timur was more than sixty years of age, Farishta tells us that, "informed of the commotions and civil wars of India," he "began his expedition into that country," and on the September 12, 1398 "arrived on the banks of the Indus."

It is about eleven years since this emperor of Tartary, Toktamish, being a great lord, and having a large army, sallied forth from Tartary with a powerful host, invaded Persia,' and entered the province of Tabreez, devastating the land, and pillaging the towns and villages {In 1395}.
Toktamish and Timur Beg then became friends, and worked together to entrap this Ediguy, to whom Timur Beg sent a message, saying that he loved him and pardoned him, and proposed that he should give one of his daughters in marriage to one of Timur's grandsons.
The emperor Toktamish had a son who was also driven out of the land of Tartary by Ediguy; and Toktamish fled to a land, bordering on Samarkand, and his son to Caffa, a city of the Genoese.

 Timur and Toktamish,
During his absence in Persia, Toktamish (or Tokhtamysh or Tokatmish), regardless of the debt of gratitude he owed to his benefactor, made several incursions across the River Jaxartes, and was held in check, with difficulty, by Timur's young son Omar Sheikh.
He succeeded in discovering their camp, and in May 1391 Timur's army crossed the river Jaick, in 53° north latitude, and found itself face to face with the vast hordes of the Khan of Kapchak, who were greatly superior in numbers to the invaders.
The conqueror was enchanted with the verdure of the plains between the rivers Volga and Jaik; and was not a little astonished at finding that immediately the sun set, the dawn of day was clearly perceptible in the west.

 The Mongols in the West
Though in 1382 a campaign led by Toktamish, de facto ruler of the Golden Horde (1380-1395), resulted in the occupation of Moscow and the reassertion of the Horde's supremacy, the stigma of Kulikovo could not be erased.
Toktamish was the last major figure in the history of the Golden Horde, a man of considerable political vision who, however, made the fatal mistake of antagonizing his former protector and mentor Tamerlane (Timur).
It was with the help of Timur that in 1377 Toktamish, himself of uncertain origin, became head of the White (sometimes called Blue) Horde,59 formerly the apanage of Batu's older brother Orda, which occupied the steppes east of the Ural, now part of Kazakhstan.

The western Kipchaks, known as the Golden Horde, declined in influence until they were united, under Toktamish in 1378, with the eastern Kipchaks, or White Horde.
Shortly after, Toktamish fought against Tamerlane, a Mongolian chieftain who had conquered Samarkand in 1369.
By the 18th century the Manchu dynasty of China overcame the Mongolian groups of central Asia.

Demetrius then formed a league of all the Russian princes against the Tatars and in 138o encountered them on the plain of Kulikovo, between the rivers Nepryadvaya and Don, where he completely routed them, the grand khan Mamai perishing in his flight from the field.
But now Toktamish, the deputy of Tamerlane, suddenly appeared in the Horde and organized a punitive expedition against Demetrius.
Moscow was taken by treachery, and the Russian lands were again subdued by the Tatars (1381).

 Timur and Timurids
Khorasan and all eastern Persia fell to him in 1383-85; Fars, Iraq, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Mesopotamia and Georgia all fell between 1386 and 1394.In the intervals, he was engaged with Toktamish, then khan of the Golden Horde whose forces invaded Azerbaijan in 1385 and Transoxonia in 1388,defeating Timur's generals.
In 1391 Timur pursued Toktamish into the Russian steppes and defeated and dethroned him; but Toktamish raised a new army and invaded Caucasus in 1395.
The revolt that broke out all over Persia while Timur was away on these campaigns, were repressed with ruthless vigor; whole cities were destroyed, their populations massacred and towers built of their skulls.

The period of mint issued coinage with the mean weight near 1.40 grams, established in the beginning of the rule of Toktamish, ended with the rebellions of XIV-XV centuries with the monetary reforms of Shadi Beg, lowering the specific weight of silver dirhams to a norm of about 1.12 grams.
The durability of this union for the entire extent of Toktamishs rule excludes the possibility that some khan of the Ak-Horde having independent power at this time, was able to mark his coins with his own tamgha.
After the death of Toktamish, some khan of the house of Ordu ruled in the Golden Horde or struggled for the khans throne.

Sedentary infantry formed part of the expedition against Toktamish in 1391 and fought in the great battle of Kanduzcha on June 18, though this was primarily a victory of heavy cavalry over light.
It is tempting to ascribe these developments to Tamerlane's defeat of Toktamish, and in particular to his devastation of the central Horde cities and the northern land route on which their prosperity and its stability depended.
On the defeat of Toktamish, Tamerlane replaced him with Timur-Kutlugh, grandson of Urus Khan, a former ruler of the Blue Horde or eastern half of the ulus of Jochi.

The suggestion by me of dating the copper coins with such images to the time of Toktamish, despite the definite stylized nearness to some of the types of coins from the time of Uzbeg, rests on the stratigraphical evidence of finds of similar coins.
From the terrible destruction of the Lower Povolzhye by Timur in the Winter of 1395-1396, Sarai al-Jedid, in general, did not recover37, and the mint of Sarai rose again to mint coins only in the beginning of the XV century.
What is important about these coins, having this counterstamp and clipped under the weight norm of the XV century, is, as noted above, that we have a situation with a second use of a countermark on already countermarked coins.
