| Additional information |
Huwayza — modern Hawizeh in Khuzestan — operated as a semi-autonomous Arab shaykhdom under loose Safavid suzerainty throughout the later seventeenth century. Coins struck there under Suleiman I are among the most geographically peripheral issues of the entire Safavid series, produced at a mint that appears sporadically in the records and whose output was almost certainly limited to satisfying local exchange rather than any imperial monetary program. The A#2663 attribution reflects ongoing uncertainty in the primary literature about exact mint relationships within this reign.
