Sulla80 Posted July 20, 2022 · Supporter Share Posted July 20, 2022 Great Mongols during the reign of Genghis (Chingiz) Khan, 1206-1227, AE jital (4.15g), A-1969, Tye-329, anonymous, with title al-khaqan / al-'adil / al-a'zam on obverse, the 'Abbasid caliph al-Nasir on reverse. According to Stephen Album: "This and other jitals of the period probably contain a small amount of silver and may also have had a very light silver-wash. This type is the only coin that is reasonably common and can be securely assigned to the lifetime of Genghis Khan, though of course, without his name. This type is believed to have been struck AH618-619 / 1221, during the Mongol chase of Mangubarni to the Indus River, when a Mongol military base was established at or near Ghazna.".

Benefactor Ancient Coin Hunter Posted July 20, 2022 · Benefactor Benefactor Share Posted July 20, 2022 (edited) An Empire that includes the antique land of Egypt with its own coin supply? Pretty cool. And last but not least, a contemporaneous mummy portrait from the Fayyum (2nd century).

NathanB Posted July 20, 2022 · Member Share Posted July 20, 2022 I'm out of the age bracket, but when I was a kid, I enjoyed reading about several of the empires in the meme, and I find all of them interesting today. Nowadays, I tend to be fascinated with the American empire, and I do worry about the so-called Thucydides Trap. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
