Money and letters of Siberian khans

The book presents the first experience in Russian historiography of a monographic study of monetary circulation and official office work in the Siberian yurt, one of the successor states of the Mongol Empire and the Golden Horde. The monograph is based on numismatic materials and diplomatic acts of the 15th-16th centuries, preserved in old Russian stationery translations. Did the Siberian khans minted their own coins? How intensive was the money circulation in the region in the XIV-XVI centuries? What features of the Mongolian and Golden Horde clerical traditions were perceived in Siberia? What was the structure and appearance of the letters of the Siberian khans? These are the main questions that this book gives an answer to, based on data from Arabic and Russian sources. The publication is intended for orientalists-source researchers, historians, ethnographers and everyone interested in the history of Mongolian heritage in Eurasia.
