Description

GREAT MONGOLS: Anonymous, ca. 1220s-1240s, AV dinar (4.30g), Isfarayin, DM, A-1966, kalima reverse, mint name twice in obverse field, once in reverse field, probably circa 1230s or early 1240s, struck from well-executed dies, possibly dated in the reverse margin, but off flan as on both known examples, VF, RRR. Same dies as the dinar sold in our Auction 39, Lot 573, where we listed the mint incorrectly as Astarabad, but is clear-as-day Isfarayin on this specimen and that one. These two are the only Great Mongol dinars known from the mint of Isfarayin.
Estimate: USD 700 - 1000
