INJUYID: Mahmud Shah, 1339-1342, AV dinar (4.44g), Shaykh Kabir, AH740, A-D2275, anonymous, as are all coins of Mahmud Shah, known only in silver until this piece was discovered, still unique, VF, RRRR. Mahmud Shah seized control of Shiraz, also known by its epitethetical name Shaykh Kabir, about the end of AH739 or early 740. He struck silver and gold anonymous coins, but later in 741 recognized the Ilkhan Sulayman and struck his coins in Sulayman's name in 741 & 742 (in silver, A-A2260 & B2260). He died in 743 and was succeeded by Abu Ishaq, who thereafter struck coins in his own name, beginning in 745. No coins of Shiraz and nearby mints are known dated 743 or 744.

Estimate: 600-700 GBP
