Comment
Sulayman (Chobanid Puppet). Recognized by Sarbadars (1341-1343).Coin is EXTREMELY thin.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the Chupanid puppet state of Ilkhanate, which was a short-lived state that was established in the 14th century in the territory of present-day Turkey. The Chupanid dynasty was known for its unique coinage, which featured a blend of Mongolian and Islamic influences. This coin, in particular, features the name of the Ilkhanate ruler, Sulayman, and the year 741 (1341) in the Islamic calendar, indicating that it was minted during a time of cultural and religious exchange between the Mongols and the local population.
