GREAT MONGOLS: Chingiz Khan, 1206-1227, AE jital (4.07g) (Ghazna), ND, A-3713 (1969), Tye-329, anonymous typoe with title al-khaqan al-'adil al-a'zam on obverse, and citing the 'Abbasid caliph al-Nasir on reverse., VF. This and other jitals of the period probably contain a small amount of silver and may also have had a very light silver-wash. This type is the only coin that is reasonably common and can be securely assigned to the lifetime of Genghis Khan, though of course, without his name. This type is believed to have been struck AH618-619 (1221), during the Mongol chase of Mangubarni to the Indus River, when a Mongol military base was established at or near Ghazna.

Estimate: 75-100 USD
