Description
This historic Fals coin, attributed to "Ilkhan" Hulagu Khan, was issued under the authority of Badr ad-Din LuLu, ruler of the Luluids of Mawsil. The obverse is inscribed with Islamic declaration of faith "LA ILAH ILLA ALLAH MUHAMMAD RASUL ALLAH SALLA ALLAH 'ALAYHI", alongside the names and titles "Lu'lu al-malik al-rahim badr al-din sultan al-islam abu al-fadail". On the reverse, it features Mongke Khan's titles, "Mongke qaan-i azam khudawand-i 'alam padishah-i rui zamin zayyada 'azamatahu", with the minting date "DURIBE SENE SITTA WA-KHAMSIN WA-SITTAMI'A".
