ILKHAN: Abu Sa'id, 1316-1335, AV dinar (4.95g), NM, ND, A-2212, type G, lovely strike, choice About Uncirculated, R. The mint name and date are completely blundered, as this is a contemporary Anatolian imitation, probably struck circa 730-740 (type G was struck 729-734). This type comes from a small hoard, perhaps a total of 15 to 20 pieces, and has been incorrectly marketed as Baybirt mint dated 733. Both the mint name and date on this type are totally illegible, typical of the central and eastern Anatolian issues.
