| Additional information |
The "Qa'an al-'Adil" title — meaning "the Just Khagan" — appears on these anonymous billon jitals issued across the Hindu Kush and Afghan plateau region during the period when Mongol administration was still working out how to govern a Muslim population it had largely conquered through devastation. The title borrows Islamic legitimizing language without naming any specific ruler, a deliberate ambiguity that allowed the coins to circulate under multiple reigns from Ögedei through Möngke without requiring a reminting.
Album's attribution to the 1230–1260 bracket reflects genuine uncertainty — die studies have not resolved whether production was centralized or distributed across multiple mints in the region.
