MENKUJAKIDS: Fakhr al-Din Bahramshah, 1167-1225, AV dinar (3.85g), "al-Qahira", AH"589", A-V1892, Zeno-285678 (this piece), a proper die of Bahramshah b. Da'ud b. Ishaq coupled with an imitative die based on a dinar of Saladin (al-Nasir Yusuf b. Ayyub) for al-Qahira 589, some spots of weakness but very little actual wear, VF, RRR, ex Choudhury Collection. From a small group, also containing imitations of purely Fatimid dinars. The obverse marginal legend is "fakhr al-dunya wa'l-din 'izz al-islam wa'l-muslimin (a)mir al-umara" followed by one undeciphered word, as reconstructed from several examples. The year AH589 marks the death of Saladin, towards the middle of the rule of Bahramshah, with his capital at Erzincan in eastern Anatolia.
