SALGHURID

543 – 684 AH

Most gold coins of this dynasty (except Queen Abish) bear the dynastic tamgha, a three-pronged trident-like object. The mint name, when visible, is always Shiraz, except for a few rare silver coins of Queen Abish minted at Kazirun and Ta’us (= Abarquh). The first three rulers were technically vassals under the western Seljuqs, or under subordinate western Seljuqs nominally assigned to Fars. The Seljuq names appear in the field on coins of Sunqur, but in the outer margins on those of his successors, thus very rarely legible on the later issues.481 All of the rulers except Abish bint Sa‘d bore the same laqab Muzaffar al-Din.
