GREAT MONGOLS: Chingiz Khan, 1206-1227, AV dinar (3.21g), NM, ND, A-1964A, also citing the Khwarizmshah ruler, 'Ala al-Din Muhammad (b. Takash, 1200-1220), three small holes, unpublished & unique, Very Fine, RRRR.
Obverse field: khan al-a'zam / wa'l-khaqan al-mu'azzam / chingiz al-khan, with possible short text in fourth line. Reverse field: al-sulta(n) al-mu'azzam / 'ala al-dunya wa'l-d- / -in abu'l-fath / (mu)hammad bin …. The marginal legends are off flan on both sides, as is almost normal at this period.
Genghis Khan (Chingiz Khan) originally sent a mercantile group to the Khwarizmshah territory, to establish a trade relationship between the Mongols, by then in control of most of Xinjiang, and the Khwarizmshahs, along the northern route of the Silk Road. The Khwarizmian officials unfortunately assassinated the mercantile representatives, with great outrage to the Mongols. Genghis Khan then prepared for invasion of the Khwarizmshah's lands, with the understandable intent to defeat the Khwarizmshahs and either capture or execute 'Ala al-Din and his sons.
It can be argued that the recognition of Chingiz Khan by 'Ala al-Din Muhammad was undertaken in order to dispell the possibility of a Mongol invasion of his territories, or that Chingiz Khan or his officials ordered that their first coins should continue to cite 'Ala al-Din Muhammad on the coinage in hope that he would surrender to subordination under the Mongols. I am inclined to prefer the second explanation, for in following decades, the Mongols made similar arrangements with local dynasties, such as the Qutlughkhanids, Salghurids, etc., in southern Iran, and the Bagratid kings of Georgia.
