By that time, the Golden Horde's treasury had drained because of natural disasters and warfare; however, Janibeg restored the tax exempt status of the church in September 1347 and reconfirmed it in 1351, returning to the religious policy of Genghis Khan.

Soon after this, he faced an uprising in Tabriz resulting in the rise to power of the Jalayirid dynasty, an offshoot of Ilkhanate, and ultimately in the death of the Khan.

[citation needed] The reign of Jani Beg was marked by the first signs of the feudal strife which would eventually contribute to the demise of the Golden Horde.

Jani Beg appears in the 1375 Catalan Atlas: the Mongol polity of the Golden Horde is accurately depicted north of the Caspian Sea.

[7] The caption to the right of his depiction reads: Here resides the emperor of this northern region whose empire starts in the province of Bulgaria and ends at the city of Organcio.

[12] The 2012 Russian film The Horde is set during the reign of Jani Beg and is a highly fictionalised narrative of how Aleksii healed Taidula from blindness.
