Great Saljuqs
Berkyarüq, 486-498 H/1093-1105 AD Dinar 487 H, Madînat as-salâm, naming the caliph al-Mustazhir, his heir 'Umdat ad-dîn Abû-Mansûr and the Saljuq with the laqab 'Adud ad-dawla al-qâhira. Album 1682 Jafar - (cf. S.MS.488C) 3.93 g.; Very rare About extremely fine
This dinar is not in line with the chronology proposed by Ja'far, who assumed that the caliphal heir was only nominated in 488 H and also the change of Berkyarüq's laqab from Mu'izz ad-dawla to 'Adud ad-dawla followed only the nomination. The date on our coin is very clear. Therefore it seems more likely that the disturbing date of our coin was result of a reuse of an old obverse die rather than proposing that Ja'far's types S.MS 488 A and B were both struck with old reverse dies.
