Watch List notes:

ISLAMIC, Mongols. Ilkhanids. Muhammad, AH 737-738 / AD 1337-1338. Fals (Bronze, 19 mm, 1.52 g, 12 h), possibly Hisn, without date. Lion walking right; above, six-pointed star; all withint eye-shaped enclosure. Rev. Smiling Sun-Face within six-pointed star. Apparently unique. Very fine.


The attribution of this unique coin to Muhammad and the mint Hisn is based on the depiction of the lion. We kindly thank Y. Altay for his valuable contributions to the discussion of this issue.
