SALGHURID: Abish bint Sa'd, 1265-1285, AR dirham (2.81g), Shiraz, AH665, A-1930, Arabic inscriptions only, but with Chinese character bao sideways in the obverse field, citing only the Qa'an as overlord, slight central weakness, clear mint & date, 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: USD 450 - 550
