ERETNID
736-782 AH
Over 35 mints produced coins for the Eretnids, of which the most
frequently encountered are Sivas, Kayseri (Qaysariya), Erzincan,
Bayburt, Ma‘dan, Tokat, and Kirşehir (Qirshahr). Silver coins of
Eretna tend to be rather carefully struck, but later issues are usually
weakly or incompletely struck, though most coins of all rulers show
little circulation wear. For all reigns the most attractive silver coins
were minted at Erzincan. The coppers are mainly from Erzincan and
exhibit a great variety of designs. The only reported Eretnid gold coin
is questionable (see note to #T2320).
