SU‘LUKID

301 – 316 AH

All Su‘lukid coins were struck at al-Muhammadiya (Rayy) and resemble contemporary ‘Abbasid coins except for the addition of the local ruler’s name. Technically, the first two Su‘lukids were Samanid governors at Rayy from circa 298-316, but the Samanid ruler was not named before 314. The Su‘lukids themselves were omitted on coins dated before 302, from 303-307 and 312-313, as they simultaneously functioned as ‘Abbasid prefects at Rayy.
