GREAT MONGOLS: Shams al-Din (al-Mandal?), date unknown, AE jital (2.79g), ND, A-—, Zeno-226304, unknown ruler, probably struck just after the demise of the Khwarizmshah 'Ala al-Din Muhammad, either in alliance with or opposed by the Mongols, thus well within the lifetime of Chingiz Khan, unpublished, VF, RRR. The reading "shams al-din" is also tentative, and he is perhaps entitled Îl-Muzaffar. The style is clearly derived from the Helmund (Ghur) region jitals of 'Ala al-Din Muhammad, who died in AH617 (1220), by which time the Mongol armies were advancing across this region, probably taking Ghazna later that same year. The mint name resembles something like "siyâkhâneh", but has not been identified. Other specimens are needed to decipher the legends in full!
