| Additional information |
Sayf al-Dawla Inanj Beg was a Seljuq governor whose hold on Hamadan was contested and brief — the city changed hands repeatedly among Seljuq factions during the early twelfth century as the Great Seljuq Sultanate fractured into competing branches. A gold dinar struck in his name is a direct assertion of autonomous authority, issued at a moment when controlling a mint was inseparable from controlling the legitimacy of rule. Hamadan, ancient Ecbatana, sat at one of the most strategically critical road junctions on the Iranian plateau.
