| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field bears a multi-line Arabic religious legend in Naskh script, reading the Shahada and the name of Ghazan Mahmud Khan, arranged in horizontal registers. The inscription is enclosed within a geometric or floral border typical of post-reform Ilkhanid coinage. The strike is characteristic of hammered production, resulting in a slightly irregular flan with moderate relief. The field shows the bold, angular script style associated with the monetary reform of 694 AH introduced by Ghazan Khan. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Ghazan Khan's monetary reform of 1296–97 was one of the most administratively ambitious acts of the Ilkhanate: a complete demonetization of the existing coinage, compulsory exchange at state depots, and the introduction of a unified silver standard across the realm. The reform was inseparable from his conversion to Islam, which gave the new coinage its religious legitimacy and effectively ended the heterodox Buddhist and shamanistic imagery that had appeared on earlier Ilkhanid issues.
The depot system largely collapsed within a generation, but the reformed dirham type held.
