Description
House of Emirates® is thrilled to offer its elite clientele this exceptional and historically charged Graded Mongol silver dirham, struck under the formidable reign of Hulagu Khan in the city of Mardin between 654–679 AH (1256–1280 AD).
GENI GRADING # IRXGOW2F91
This remarkable coin stands as a tangible witness to the sweeping expansion of the Mongol Empire into the Islamic world, a period defined by both conquest and cultural transformation.
Hulagu Khan, grandson of Genghis Khan, carved his legacy across Persia and Mesopotamia, and this dirham reflects the fusion of Mongol authority with Islamic monetary traditions. The bold Arabic inscriptions, still clearly visible despite centuries of circulation, echo the power and administrative sophistication of an empire that reshaped history.
Struck in fine silver and weighing 2.7 grams with an impressive diameter of 26.7 mm, this dirham boasts an Extremely Fine (XF) grade, preserving intricate calligraphy and structural integrity that is rarely encountered in coins of this era. The surfaces reveal an authentic patina, with subtle toning and areas of age that enhance rather than detract from its historical character. Certified and graded by GENI in Paris, France, this piece carries not only historical weight but modern authentication credibility, making it highly desirable for serious collectors and investors alike.
The artistic composition, featuring concentric inscriptions and traditional Islamic motifs, embodies the transition of Mongol rulers into patrons of established monetary systems, creating a unique blend of cultures captured in silver.
This coin is more than a collectible—it is a relic of empire, a story frozen in metal, and a strategic acquisition for those who understand the rising value of ancient numismatics. As interest in Mongol-era coinage continues to grow, pieces linked directly to Hulagu Khan remain scarce and highly sought after. Whether displayed as a centerpiece or secured as part of a diversified investment portfolio, this dirham offers both aesthetic beauty and historical significance. Its provenance, condition, and rarity elevate it into the upper echelon of collectible Islamic coins, making it a distinguished addition to any elite collection.
