SALGHURID: Queen Abish bint Sa'd, 1265-1285, AR dirham (2.85g), NM, AH666, A-1930, Z-54621, with the Chinese character bao in the obverse center, sideways, slight nicks below the obverse, VF, RR. According to the Ilkhan historian Vassaf, the Mongol governor Inkiyanu, assigned as co-ruler alongside Abish, was recalled and sent back to the court of Qubilai Qa'an, perhaps as far as China, for the indiscretion of having placed "a secret symbol" in the Chinese script on the coinage of Shiraz!

Estimate: 850-950 USD
