Comment
Qurumishi was originally the viceroy of Georgia until he was removed from his position in 1318. He then proceeded to rebel within that area, which these coins are found around.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Abu Sa'id Bahadur Khan, who was the last Ilkhanid ruler of the Viceroyalty of Georgia. This coin was part of a series of coins issued during his reign that featured the name of the ruler and the date of issue in both Persian and Georgian. This coin, in particular, is notable for its small weight of 3.20g, which was unusual for coins of its time.
