Description
SALGHURID: Queen Abish bint Sa 'd, 1265-1285, AR dirham (2.79g), Shiraz, AH666, A-1930, Arabic inscriptions only, but with Chinese character bao sideways in the obverse field, mint name & date clear in the obverse field, also citing the Great Mongol Qa 'an anonymously as overlord, VF, RR. According to the Ilkhan historian Vassaf, the Mongol governor Inkiyanu, assigned as co-ruler alongside Abish, was recalled and sent back to the court of Qubilai Qa 'an, perhaps as far as China, for the indiscretion of having placed "a secret symbol" in the Chinese script on the coinage of Shiraz!
Estimate: $400 - $500
