Relations between the Genoese and the Golden Horde remain tense until late 1312 when Toqta dies during preparations for a new military campaign against the Russian lands.

Some sources claim that he died without a male heir, but the Yuan shi and some Muslim sources state that he had at least three sons and one of them was murdered by supporters of Öz Beg', his nephew Although he was Shamanist, he was interested in Buddhism.

He is the last non-Muslim khan of Golden Horde.

Khan Tokhta had married Maria Palaiologina, who was born in 1297 as the bastard daughter of Emperor Andronikos II Palaiologos.

Their daughter Marija later marries Narimantas, who is the second son of Gediminas, the Grand Duke of Lithuania.

Narimantas is the Grand-Duke of Veliki Novgorod.
