Watch List notes:

GREAT MONGOLS, TEMP OGEDEI (624-639h) A brass octagonal coin die, probably for anonymous dinars of Astarabad In field: Astarabad │ al-Khaqan │ al-'Adil │al-A'azam Dimensions: 39.5mm (maximum, from point to point) x 18.2mm. Good very fine and extremely rare. This extremely rare die allows the artistry of the Mongol engravers to be fully appreciated, something which is sadly often obscured by the poor striking of their coins.

(2000-3000 GBP)
