Hulagu Silver Dirham هولاكو المغولي

Description

House of Emirates® is proud to present its elite clientele with a breathtaking Ilkhanid silver Dirham of Hulagu Khan, struck during the formative years of Mongol rule over the Islamic world. Minted between AH 653–664 (1255–1266 CE), this remarkable coin stands as a tangible witness to one of history’s most dramatic civilizational crossroads—where steppe empire, Persian administration, and Islamic faith converged.

This magnificent coin is also tokenized on the blockchain for our tech savvy investors

Struck in fine silver (AR) with a weight of 1.68 grams and a diameter of 22.31 mm, this dirham embodies the authority and ambition of Hulagu Ilkhan, founder of the Ilkhanid dynasty and grandson of Genghis Khan. The bold epigraphy on the obverse proclaims his supreme sovereignty with commanding titles, reading:

“Kaan al-Aʿẓam Hulagu Ilkhan al-Muʿaẓẓam”,

خان الأعظم

هولاكو الخان

المعظم

Followed by the Jarir mint signature—an evocative mark of regional administration under Mongol rule.

The reverse is profoundly spiritual and historically significant, bearing the full Islamic Shahada in elegant script:

“Lā Ilāha Illā Allāh, Waḥdahu Lā Sharīka Lahu / Muḥammad Rasūl Allāh”

لا اله الا الله وحده

لاشريك له

محمد رسول الله

This declaration reflects the gradual integration of the Ilkhanids into the Islamic world, making this coin not only a monetary instrument but a statement of political legitimacy and religious alignment.

Rich in symbolism, scarce in survival, and dramatic in historical context, this dirham is an exceptional acquisition for investors of Islamic coinage, Mongol history, and medieval numismatics. It represents power, faith, and transformation—captured forever in silver.

A true investment-grade treasure, offered exclusively by House of Emirates®, where history is curated at its highest standard.
