The Hadhabani Kurdish dynasty controlled territory around Lake Urmia in what is now northwestern Iran, operating as a semi-autonomous power amid the collapse of Buyid authority and the westward advance of the Seljuq Turks. Jastan b. Rabib al-Dawla issued coinage during precisely the period when the Seljuqs under Alp Arslan were consolidating control over the region, making the survival of independent Kurdish minting even this brief a minor political curiosity.
