AMIR OF TABRIZ

758 – 759 AH

During 758, Tabriz was ruled first by the Juchid Jani Beg, then his son Birdi Beg, then the local amir Akhi Juq, then the Jalayrid Shaykh Uways, then Akhi Juq for the second time, finally the Muzaffarid Muhammad b. al-Muzaffar, who was expelled the following year. Because the coin is anonymous, I believe this type was most likely ordered by either Akhi Juq or Shaykh Uways, as the Juchid & Muzaffarid rulers had already begun striking coinage bearing their personal names
