Seljuqs, Great Seljuq. Rukn al-Din Barkiyaruq. AH 486-498 / AD 1093-1105. AV Dinar (25.3mm, 3.68 g, 2h). Madinat al-Salam mint. Dated AH 488 (AD 1095). Jafar S.MS.488A; Album 1682.1. Slightly buckled flan. Good VF.
This dinar was evidently struck in the first part of the year AH 488, since it preserves Barkiyaruq's older title of Mu'izz al-Dawla. Later in this year Barkiyaruq received a new title, 'Adud al-Dawla', possibly following the defeat of Tutush, his uncle and rival, on 7 Safar AH 488.
