Comments

Struck by Amir Wali, ruler of Astarabad, in the name of Buyan Quli Khan, written, for some inexplicable reason, as buyan ‘ali khan. The mint name is given as Bazar, the court mint, which was generally located at or very close to Astarabad.

AR ¼ tanka to the Delhi standard (about 2.75g), undated, but struck circa 757-758.
