CHAGHATAYID, TEMP. TARMASHRIN (726-734h) Bronze obverse die for anonymous silver dinars, type of Bukhara, c. 728-730h In field: al-‘adl wa’l-mulk | tamgha | tu’aman (see note) Weight: 135g Diameter: 38mm Thickness: 14.8mm Reference: cf Album 1992 for coins produced from dies of this type Very fine and extremely rare. The legend al-‘adl wa’l-mulk is blundered on this die, which supports the view that it may be have been made to produce contemporary imitations. It may be noted, however, that officially produced Chaghatayid coins were also poorly made and sometimes exhibit spelling errors.

Estimate: GBP 1500 - 2000
