I have a lot of AH761/1360, since this was the Golden Horde's equivalent to the Year of the Four Emperors.
Nawruz Beg Dang. Just Sultan / Nawruz Beg Khan / May his reign be long. Struck in the town / of Gulistan / 761. 15mm, 1.47g.
Qulpa Dang. Just Sultan / Qulpa Khan / May his reign be long. Struck / in Gulistan / 761. 1.52g.
Khizr Dang. Just Sultan / Mahmood Khizr Khan / May his reign be long. Struck in Saray / al-Jadida / 761. 1.51g.

I do wonder what the actual general opinion is on this point.
Philip of Spain would be seen as King of England about as much as Camilla is seen as Queen i.e. not at all. That is not just because the public don't like them - but because they are/were not the 'proper' monarch. To be honest, 99 out of 100 English people wouldn't even know Philip ever was king. As far as we're concerned, it's Henry VIII - Edward VI - Mary I - Elizabeth I. There's no need for Philip.
The same is not true for William III, whose claim came from marriage to Mary II. He was invited to rule instead of launching an Armada (and was not a Catholic, which made him popular in England in those days). Importantly, he ended up ruling on his own for 7 years, so he gets a spot on all the timelines. |

| If we're being really picky about this, the AD dates we're using don't allow for the switch from the Julian to Gregorian calendars either. For example, I have an English coin dated 1645 that was struck in what we would call 1646. It certainly doesn't allow for the fact that this switch happened in 1751 in England (when Jan-Mar did not exist) but 1918 in Russia. |

AFAIK this is the first Russian dated coin issue (again, there are several subtypes, but the 2x2 says this is KG 114 so that's what I went with in this description).
There only seem to be two options for HO RD - KG 113 and 114. They have the same obverse (die 2) which is actually quite hard to tell on this coin. But the reverse is definitely die 2, which is KG 114.
Die 2 was also used on KG115, which I have. It is marked B HO PE; i.e. V NO RE:
V NO = in Novgorod.
R = 100
E = 5
(7)105-5508 = 1597.
Feodor Ivanovich Kopek, 1597
Novgorod. Silver, 0.72g. Horseman with a spear on a galloping horse, right; B (HO) PE (in Novgorod, 1597). Tsar and Gr-and Pr(ince F)yodor Iva-(no)vich (of all Rus) (KG 115). |
