Beschrijving keerzijde Central field displays the first kalima (shahada) of Islam inscribed within a mihrab-shaped cartouche, rendered in Arabic script. A circular marginal legend surrounds the central mihrab, containing additional religious and dedicatory inscriptions, all enclosed within a beaded border (grenetis). The design is characteristic of Ilkhanid and successor-state religious coinage conventions, emphasizing Islamic piety through the prominent placement of the declaration of faith. The overall composition is symmetrical, with the mihrab form lending an architectural quality to the field design.

Aanvullende informatie

The Chupanid amirs never held the Ilkhanid throne themselves — they ruled through a succession of puppet khans while the Ilkhanate dissolved around them. By 1345, the fiction of Ilkhanid authority was threadbare; Hasan Kuchak had been assassinated three years earlier, and the dynasty was months from collapse entirely. Coins like this one, struck in the name of a nominal khan, were as much political theater as currency.

Hisn — almost certainly Hisn Kayfa on the upper Tigris — sat at the edge of Chupanid reach, and its mint activity in this period is sparsely documented.
