Interesting fact
The 2 Dirhams - Anushiravan (Type E) 750 (1349) coin from the Chupanid puppet state of Ilkhanate is interesting because it was made during a time of political turmoil. The Ilkhanate was a Mongol khanate that had conquered much of the Middle East and Central Asia, and the Chupanid puppet state was one of its vassal states. The coin's minting was likely a way for the Chupanid rulers to assert their authority and independence, despite being under the control of the Ilkhanate.
