Persia Amir of Qunduz Anonymous, temp. Amir Khusro AH907 (frozen date) (1501/2 A.D.) 2 Dinars VF -- #AC102179
AE 2 Dinars 25mm. 9.47g. Hisar mint Deer l., floral elements around.
Date, mint, and denomination within ornate frame.
Album 3009 VF. Red-brown patina. Rare calligraphic style. Some strike weakness, as typical. The reverse has markedly different calligraphy than the typical example. Seemingly very rare. Amir Khusro Shah proclaimed his autonomy from the Timurids and ruled from AH902-910, but his coins are always anonymous and show a frozen date of AH907. Album notes that the 0 is written as a circle instead of a dot, therefore often being read as a 5. This type likely continued to be struck long after his death, hence the great number of varieties that can be found.
