Obverse
From the die of an Ilkhanid dinar of Abu Sa'id, dated 719h
The obverse of this coin appears to have been struck from an official Ilkhanid die of Abu Sa'id. Although the date – 719h – is here clearly visible, the mint name is uncertain, possibly due to alteration of the die.
Lettering:
لا اله الا الله
محمد رسول الله
ضرب ایذج
ابوبکر عمر عثمان علی
Reverse
Kalima in angular calligraphy arranged in square, names of Rashidun around; in centre: duriba bi-Aydhaj, The design and calligraphy of the anonymous reverse die closely resemble Jalayrid dinars of Hasan Buzurg (and Uways I) issued in the 750s but, most unusually, the centre clearly cites the mint name 'Aydhaj'. Aydhaj is well known for striking silver at this period but was not formerly regarded as an issuer of gold coins. It has been proposed that the present piece may represent an emergency coinage, re-using an obsolete (and, perhaps, modified) Ilkhanid obverse die and actually struck circa 756h, during a brief period when Aydhaj came under Hasan Buzurg's control.
