Juchid silver coins with names of Mahmud B. Muhammad B. Timur khan and Amir Tin-Sufi B. Mansur

Silver coins with the name of Tin-Sufi b. Mansur on their reverses can be divided into two groups. Dangs of the first group with the name and title of Emir Din-Sufi were published by Yu.V. Zayonchkovsky in 2012, a year later A.A. Kazarov and Yu.V. Zayonchkovsky made a more exact reading of the name of the beylerbey as Tin-Sufi. At present 7 specimens of this group are known, struck by 3 die pairs (2 obverse and two reverse dies). The average weight of coins of first group (according to available data) is 0.70 g. Ch.M. Frähn had known the coins of the second group in the 1st third of 19th century, later these dangs were once and again published by different researchers without reading the legend of reverse. The authors suggest reading this legend as “Tin-Sufi b. Mansour”. The information about 22 coins of this group struck by 5 die pairs (4 obverse and 3 reverse dies) was detected in scientific literature and numismatic collections. The average weight of coins of this group is 0.60 g. It can be presumed that the issue of silver coins with the name of Amir Tin-Sufi b. Mansur on the reverse, published in the paper, and, accordingly, the fact that he held the post of beylerbey under Khan Mahmud b. Muhammad b. Timur can be dated back to the end of the 1450s - the first half of the 1460s.
