Hoard of Coins of the Golden Horde

Sunday, 16 October 2011
coins of the golden hordeA valuable finding, the silver coins of the Golden Horde or White Horde, was discovered in 1939 at the Spassky Tower of the Kremlin. These coins dated back to 14th century. Yet, such hoards are sporadic only in central and northern lands of Russia but they are common in eastern and southern regions, as Crimea and Kazakhstan. Volga region – the center of the White Horde

Lower and Middle Volga region became the principal political center in the White Horde (Ulus Djuchi), the state ruled by Genghis Khan offsprings in XIII century. These are places rich in countless golden accessories and hoards of coins since the Golden Horde time. So, a plenty of hidings have been found in the lands of Chuvashia, close to Cheboksary town. The most inscrutible coins among the others are those from Kerman, the town that was supposed to exist in the territory of the modern settlement Almenyevo in Chuvashia.

There was a hoard discovered in 1938 of more than two hundred sixteen coins dated back to 13th century. The inscription “K..rman” on the coins evoked the idea they came from the old town Kerman. There was no other precise evidence of this land existance and thus, the place of origin of these coins is still a mystery to investigators.

In the territory of modern Tatarstan and Samara region in the Russian Federation the hoard of coins from the White Horde is rather habitual to discover. So, in 1891 a pot full of silver Ulus Dzhuchi coins was found in the suburbs of Gubino village and the similar dig totalling in four hundred and sixteen coins was discovered near Vinnovka settlement in 1908. Nevertheless, Samarskaya Luka, the winding bend, formed by the Zhigulev Mountains and the Volga River gut, is the most “fruitful” place to find coins. So, this is the place where the site of ancient town was opened there in 2002 referring to the White Horde period. Along with the household items various coins were discovered in the settlement, including dirhems that would circulate in ancient Arab countries around 8th century.

South of Russia and the Crimea land

The Crimea and the other south regions in Russia are rich in coin treasures. So, in 2009 the Museum of Money in Feodosiya got three hundred thirty five coins from one of the coin collectors dating back to the very White Horde period. There was one and the only in the Ukraine silver dirhem of Tula-Bugi Khan dated back to 1290 among the coins. That silver coin has the imprint of the panther on it. In view of researchers, the Mongol-Tatar tribes, subject to the Turkic culture, had their own 12-year cycle where a particular animal “patronized” the particular year. And that unique coin was devoted to the coming year of Panther, that was the year 1291.

The Museum in Voronezh acquired over five hundred silver coins from the time of Tokhtamysh: the local art patron bought those coins and granted them to the museum. The name of the granter and cost of the collection were hidden but the hoard was assumed to be found in 1920.

Kazakhstan region

The scientists assume that the ancient settlement Saraychik situated in fifty km from Atyrau city, Kazakhstan, is the site where lots of coin treasures were discovered of the White Horde period.  Sometime back that settlement was like the administrative center of the eastern provinces of the White Horde. The investigation of that ancient settlement was initiated in the 18th century that has been lasting till now. A huge pile of silver and copper coins of the 18th -19th centuries was dug in there with the names of rulers imprinted on coins. Such findings are of the essentially value for scientists from historic point of view.

Nowadays, the Saraychik settlement has been destroying too fast and its prominent part is washed away in the Ural River already (in Kazakh language this River is called Zhayik). The witnesses tell that the White Horde coins can be found even on the bank of the river or got from local traders for a song. It’s unknown whether the secrets will be revealed on the coins origin or will be buried too to discover again and again with the time.
