| Summary: | This is a catalogue of medieval Iraqi and Iranian coinage, struck within the 10th-11th centuries AD. The Buyid dynasty ruled in Baghdad, Western Iraq and central Iran for over 100 years (c322-c440 AH). Their coinage is of interest because it is one of the earliest and most plentiful regional coinages of the pre-modern Islamic world. It displays a variety of fabric, morphology and inscriptional content that is exceptional. |
