QADI OF SIVAS (BURHANID)

782 – 801 AH

Burhanid coins were mainly struck at Sivas and Kayseri (Qaysariya), but Perk & Öztürk have confirmed 2 additional mints, Ma‘dan & Tokat, both extremely rare.. Their coinage restored the early Eretnid standard (akçe of 1.80g). As with the later Eretnid coinage, production quality was haphazard. All coins of Burhan al-Din bear his accession date 782 below the obverse, but on nearly all specimens, the date is either blundered or reduced to meaningless squiggles
