Comment
Type struck locally in Kerman (Iran). Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Dinars - Shah Shuja 741 (1341) coin from the Muzaffarid dynasty is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Mongolian influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features the name of the ruler, Shah Shuja, in Persian script, while the reverse side features a stylized depiction of a Mongolian horseman, reflecting the Mongolian influence on the Muzaffarid dynasty at the time. This blend of cultures is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the region and the diverse influences that shaped its history.
