1 Dinar - Qara Arslan Qawrud Bardasir

The Kerman Sultanate was a branch of the Seljuk dynasty established by Qawurd — also written Qara Arslan Qawrud — a brother of Alp Arslan who received the Kerman region as his appanage around 1048. He ruled there with considerable autonomy, and this dinar dates from roughly a decade into that tenure, before the prolonged succession conflicts that would eventually destabilize the line. Bardasir, the mint city, was the principal urban center of the region, known today as Kerman.

Album's A#1697.1 distinction points to a specific die or mint attribution variant within a tightly grouped series.
