temp. Aspan, Qara Qoyunlu Bey in Baghdad AH 837-844/AD 1434-1440

Cf. SICA-9, 377ff; A 2486, Very Fine

Baghdad mint. Anonymous inscription naming Shi’ite imams al-Hasan (b. ‘Ali) and al-Husayn (b. ‘Ali) as sibtan rassul Allah (“grandsons of the apostle of Allah”), mint below; Reverse, within looped double pentalobe, Kalima, date in margin segments. Though some have identified the date on this coin as 841, it seems to be in fact a blundered version of the expected date 837. Very rare.
