Additional information

Abu Sa'id Bahadur Khan inherited the Ilkhanate throne at twelve years old and reigned under the effective control of the amir Choban for much of his early rule. His gold dinars were struck across a wide network of mints — Tabriz, Baghdad, Sultaniyya among them — and the mint city is often the only field variable distinguishing one issue from another. Abu Sa'id was the last Ilkhan to hold the realm intact; within two years of his death in 1335, the dynasty fractured into competing successor states and centralized Ilkhanid coinage ceased entirely.
