| Additional information |
Muhammad II's reign ended in one of history's more catastrophic military collapses — Genghis Khan's 1219 invasion obliterated the Khwarezmian Empire within three years, sending the Shah himself fleeing across Central Asia until his death on a Caspian island in 1220. These billon jitals were the small change of a doomed administration, circulating across territories stretching from the Indus to the Caucasus that would be ash and rubble before the decade closed. The 'Y' mint attribution in Tye 284 remains loosely assigned, reflecting the enormous geographic spread of Khwarezmian coinage and the difficulty of pinning specific issues to specific cities.
