| Additional information |
The Ghurids of Bamiyan were a collateral branch of the main Ghurid dynasty centered at Ghur and Firuzkuh, ruling their mountain principality with a degree of autonomy that occasionally produced distinct local coinage. Baha' al-Din Sam Farwan governed during a period when the main Ghurid line under Mu'izz al-Din was conducting the campaigns that would effectively end Hindu Shahi power in northern India. Bamiyan's billon issues reflect the economic periphery of that expansion — debased silver appropriate to a highland vassal court rather than an imperial mint.
