| Additional information |
Muhammad II's Khwarezmian Empire collapsed with unprecedented speed after Genghis Khan's invasion beginning in 1219 — cities that had stood for centuries were razed within months. Jitals struck at provincial mints in these final years were circulating in markets that would cease to exist before the decade ended. The 'Y' mint attribution remains debated among specialists, with some readings placing it at Ghazni and others remaining unresolved.
