Hulagu Khan established the Ilkhanate after the Mongol campaigns that destroyed Abbasid Baghdad in 1258 — the sack that ended five centuries of caliphal rule and killed Caliph Al-Musta'sim. The right to strike coinage was one of the first instruments of legitimacy Hulagu claimed, yet his early issues remain poorly systematized, with attribution disputes persisting across the major catalogs. Diler's numbering diverges from Album's sequence in ways that suggest the two scholars worked from different hoard compositions entirely.
