BATINITE RULERS OF ALAMUT, JALAL AL-DIN AL-HASAN B. MUHAMMAD (607-618h) Dinar, Kursi al-Daylam (?), date not legible Obverse: In field: la ilaha illa A- | llah Muhammad ra- | [sul] Allah al-Na- | [sir li-din] Allah Reverse: In field: [Allah | al-Sultan al-Mu'azzam] | Jalal al-dunya wa | 'l-din Abu'l-Fath | al-Hasan b. Muhammad Weight: 3.42g Reference: Hamdan/Vardanyan 24, same dies Approximately one-quarter of the coin broken away, fine and excessively rare. Full dinars of the Batinite Rulers of Alamut are exceedingly rare, far more so than their fractional gold coinage. This coin is struck from the same dies as the example published by Hamdan and Vardanyan (in Tübingen, coin FE4 E3), whose marginal legends are completely missing. Although damaged, enough of the mint/date formula is visible in the present coin to show that the mint-name is almost certainly Kursi al-Daylam, although none of the date can be seen.

(1500-2500 GBP)
