Dinar - Anonymous Tarmashirin

Tarmashirin Khan ruled the Chagatai Khanate from roughly 1326 until his violent overthrow in 1334, notable for being the first Chagatai ruler to fully embrace Sunni Islam — a move that alienated the Mongol traditionalists in the eastern steppe territories who favored the old Mongol customs. His conversion aligned the western Chagatai domains more closely with the Ilkhanate and the broader Islamicized Turco-Mongol world, but ultimately cost him the loyalty of his eastern nomadic base.

The anonymous attribution reflects the absence of the khan's name from the coin itself, a feature documented by Album under A-1992.
