This article focuses on the circulation of coins in an anonymous Golden Horde town, which preceded the modern Eski-Yurt, on the outskirts of Bakhchysarai, Crimea. The coins found at the site are compared to others (those from hoards and isolated specimens) in Crimea. The results point to a date between the second half of the 13th century and the late 14th century. The highest economic activity occurred from 1340-1380. The distribution of coins with regard to mints is broadly the same as in other Crimean towns (most were minted in Qirim, Sarai al-Jedid, and Azaq). The presence of rather numerous “al-Jedid” coins suggests that they, too, may have been minted in Crimea, but the evidence is insufficient for a definite conclusion. Most coins from the Eski-Yurt collection were minted under Uzbeg Khan and Janibek Khan (1340-1350), and there are no coins minted after 1380.
