Islamic Numismatics
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 09 March 2016
Abstract
The Mongol conquest of the IRANIAN EAST put an end to the classical Islamic coinage introduced by ʿAbd al-Malik. At first, considerable local diversity existed under the early Mongols and Ilkhanids, but Ghazan and Rashid al-Din imposed a uniform monetary system on the many Ilkhanid mints, setting the pattern for eastern coinage for several hundred years. For this long period, it is easiest to treat separately Western Iran, Eastern Iran, the Steppes, and Anatolia, despite the many interrelationships of their coinages.
