Comment

The silver dinar was equal to six dirhams, introduced by Ghazan Mahmud in AH 699 as part of his monetary reform. The silver dinars of Ghazan Mahmud and type A of Uljaytu are of great rarity, and most bear additional Qur'an inscriptions in the outer margins on one or both sides of the coin. The type was first introduced to circulation by Uljaytu under type B (used AH 709-713), and became common only with his type C (AH 714-716).

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Uljaytu Khan, also known as Muhammad Khodabandeh, who was the fifth Khagan emperor of the Ilkhanate dynasty in Persia. He ruled from 1304 to 1316 AD and was known for his military campaigns and administrative reforms. The coin features an image of the king on horseback, with an inscription in Persian that reads "Uljaytu Khan, the King of Kings, the Sultan of the World". The coin was made of silver and weighed 11.79 grams, which was a significant amount for a circulating coin at that time.
