Additional information

Abu Sa'id was the last Ilkhan to exercise real authority over a unified realm — after his death in 1335 without an heir, the khanate fractured almost immediately into competing successor dynasties. These later Type H dirhams, struck across the final years of his reign, belong to a monetary system already under strain, with regional mints operating with increasing autonomy as central Mongol control weakened.

The Diler reference places this among a tightly catalogued sequence of Abu Sa'id silver issues distinguished by field arrangement and mint attribution.
