Dirham - al-Sa'id Baraka Qan al-Qahira

Baraka Khan — also known as al-Sa'id — was the eldest son of Baybars and ruled for barely two years before being deposed by his own amirs in 1279. His reign was marked by erratic behavior that alienated the military elite who had elevated him, and his coinage reflects the brevity and instability of his tenure. Dirhams struck at al-Qahira under his name are consequently scarcer than those of his father or successor, not from minting irregularity but simply from the compressed window of production.
