| Additional information |
The Salghurids of Fars were among the more durable of the Atabeg dynasties, surviving well into the Mongol period by accommodating Ilkhanid authority rather than resisting it. Abu Bakr ibn Sa'd ruled from 1231 until his death in 1260 — the same year Hülegü's forces completed their consolidation of Iran following the sack of Baghdad. That the dynasty continued minting at all through this period reflects their vassal arrangement with the Mongols rather than any independent political standing.
Copper fals of this type circulated at the lowest level of daily commerce in Fars and are frequently found in heavily worn condition.
