Dirham - Abish bint Sa'd citing Ilkhan Arghun

Abish Khatun was the last Salghurid ruler of Fars, a daughter of Sa'd II who was given in marriage to a son of Hulagu Khan as part of the Ilkhanid absorption of the dynasty. She governed — or was permitted to govern — as a vassal administrator after her husband's death, and her coins occupy a peculiar constitutional moment: a Muslim princess of a collapsed Persian dynasty issuing silver in her own name while citing an Ilkhan overlord. Arghun, who reigned 1284–1291, was notably sympathetic to Buddhism and Christianity, making his citation on Islamic coinage from Fars a studied political convenience rather than any expression of shared faith.

Abish died in 1287, meaning pieces from the later end of this date range were likely struck posthumously under her name as a continuity fiction.
