Watch List notes:

JALAYRID, TEMP. HASAN BUZURG (736-757h), Dinar, Aydhaj, undated (but see below). Obverse: as an Ilkhanid dinar of Abu Sa'id, dated 719h (Diler 488). Reverse: kalima in angular calligraphy arranged in square, names of Rashidun around; in centre: duriba bi-Aydhaj. Weight: 4.22g . Good very fine and excessively rare, apparently unpublished. This is a remarkable coin. The obverse appears to have been struck from an official Ilkhanid die of Abu Sa'id, and the date – 719h – is clearly visible. Frustratingly, the mint-name on this side is difficult to interpret; it may have originally been Bazar, but the die appears to have been either modified or deliberately defaced at this point. The reverse die is anonymous, although the design and calligraphy is very similar to Jalayrid dinars of Hasan Buzurg and Uways I issued during the 750s. Exceptionally, however, the centre contains the mint – Aydhaj – which is very clearly engraved. Aydhaj appears to be unknown as an Ilkhanid mint but silver coins were struck there during the 750s by the Atabegs of Lur Buzurg (various dates from 751-757h), the Jalayrids (known for 756h only) and the Muzaffarids (various dates from 759h onwards). With the exception of the present coin, gold coins from this period appear to be unknown. It seems plausible to suggest that it was produced during the period when Aydhaj came under Hasan Buzurg's control in 756h, although the existence of silver coins from Aydhaj dated 756h and 757h struck in the name of the atabeg Nur Award argues that Hasan Buzurg can only have claimed power there briefly. This would be fitting with this coin having been produced as an emergency issue, for which an obsolete Ilkhanid die was pressed into service for the obverse.
