Muhammad, 1255-1256, AV dinar (4.38g), MM, DM, A-1921R, ruler cited as al-sultan al-a'zam rukn al-dunya wa'l-din shah jahan khurshah bin muhammad, with the Shi'ite kalima on the reverse, some weakness; this is the second known coin of the last Batinid ruler Khurshah (the first, struck from the same pair of dies, was sold in our Auction 51, lot 382, about the same grade and also about 15% flat strike), crude XF, RRRR. Khurshah was the unfortunate final ruler of the Assassins, defeated by the Mongol forces led by Hulagu. Surprisingly, the Mongols agreed to bring Khurshah to the great Khan Möngke, but after a short time he was executed somewhere in the eastern Mongol territories, later in 1256.
