* The Chaghatayid kingdom was formed out of the apanage assigned to Chaghatay, son of Genghis Khan and eponymous founder of this kingdom. The Chaghatayids ruled the Central Asian portion of the Mongol Empire. After 749/1348, the western Chaghatayids, centered in Samarqand, were rulers in name only, set upon the throne to bolster one or another amir’s claim to power. The eastern branch, centered in Xinjiang, retained a measure of independence, but produced virtually no coinage. Lifetime Authenticity Guarantee:All item(s) I sell are guaranteed to be Authentic.
