1 Fals - Ahmad ibn Muhammad

The Afrighids of Kath were the ancient ruling dynasty of Khwarazm, clinging to power in their capital on the Oxus delta as Samanid authority pressed in from the south. By the time Ahmad ibn Muhammad issued this fals, the dynasty was in its final generation — the Afrighids were extinguished in 995 when Abu Abdullah Muhammad of the rival Ma'munid line seized Kath and killed the last ruling member. This piece was struck within roughly three decades of that end.
