Description

SALGHURID: Abish bint Sa'd, 1265-1285, AE fals (3.08g), Shiraz, AH(6)65, A-1932, Arabic legends, but with Chinese character bao sideways in the obverse field, citing only the Qa'an 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: USD 600 - 800
