Taj al-Din Yildiz was a Ghurid slave-commander who seized Ghazni after Muhammad of Ghor's assassination in 1206, ruling as an independent power while nominally maintaining Ghurid forms on his coinage. His hold was precarious — contested by the Delhi Sultanate under Iltutmish, who finally defeated and executed him in 1215, the very year this issue's range closes. The Kurraman mint, located in what is now the Kurram Valley of northwestern Pakistan, served as a regional striking point during this fractious interregnum between Ghurid collapse and Sultanate consolidation.
