Sebuktegin (Nasir al-Dawla)

Ghaznavid

320-582 AH

Coins of the early members of the Ghaznavid dynasty, Ibrahim b. ‘Abd al-Ghaffar through Mansur b. Balkategin, were struck at Ghazna. All gold dinars of Sebuktegin are from Herat, his silver mainly from Farwan for single dirhams, Andaraba for multiple dirhams. Mahmud and Mas‘ud I regularly struck gold at Nishapur, Herat, and Ghazna, silver principally at Balkh, Nishapur, and especially Ghazna, and copper at Ghazna and Bust.
