Islamic Coins, Mongol Great Khans, Chingiz Khan, gold dinar, Balada Ghazna 618h, with full name of Chingiz Khan (Ghengis Khan), wt. 3.52gms. (A.1964), some slight weakness around border but with full mint and date, extremely fine and very rare
After the Mongols drove the last Khwarazmshah out of his possessions, the mint of Ghazna struck this issue of gold coins to seal their victory over their defeated enemy. This is an exceptionally well struck example of an issue which was probably hastily prepared to placate the all-powerful Mongol leader Chingiz Khan.
($10000-12000)
