BAHRI MAMLUK: Baybars I, 1260-1277, AV dinar (5.08g), al-Qahira, AH(65)9, A-880, ruler cited as al-sultan al-malik, with the lion below the obverse, citing the Abbasid caliph in Egypt, al-Mustansir (AH 659-661), superb strike, choice EF-AU, R, ex Gamal Amer Collection. Balog 's listing of gold coins of Baybars I is woefully incomplete - hundreds more have appeared in auctions since Balog 's book was published in 1964, and new research is desperately needed to sort out the complex gold coinage of Baybars I.
