Islamic Silver 2-dinars of Shah Mansur (1387-92), Lar mint, Muzaffarids (A-2289)

Type with the mint in a square on the reverse. 19mm, 1.28 grams. Lar mint. Album-2289; cf. Zeno 92577.

Scarce. High quality for this type - later Muzaffarid coins were almost always carelessly struck, with large flat areas appearing on most coins.  

The Muzaffarids were a Persianate dynasty that rose to power during the 14th century, ruling from around 1314 to 1393. Founded by Sharaf al-Din Muzaffar, a former official under the Ilkhanate, the dynasty gained prominence under his son Mubariz al-Din Muhammad, who declared independence. The Muzaffarids ultimately fell to Timur (Tamerlane), who captured and executed the last ruler in 1393, incorporating their territory into his expanding empire.
