To add another great mongol; The coin below is a Chagatayid billon Jital. The Chagatayids were the descendants of Chagatai, the second son of Genghis Khan.
Interesting of this coin is that it is trilingual. The side shown on the right is Uyghur script. On the centre on the left is some discussion whether this is supposed to be a clan Tamgha symbol or "Adl" (just) in Arab. The circular margin text on the left is a version of Indian Nagari script. These were produced over a short period when Khutlugh Khwaja, son of Duwa Khan, unsuccesfully tried to conquer parts of North-India. For reference: Tye#343.

 

This is one that he commissioned AFTER he was defeated at Zama. Carthage had to pay HUGE indemnities to Rome, hence this odd, but HUGE 15 Shekel coin... @TIF has a gorgeous example also.

Very nice.. these trilingual coins are fascinating and represents a rich diversity of cultures. I have here an Islamic - Ilkhan. Ghazan Mahmud (AD 1295- 1305). A descendant of Genghis Khan. Trilingual double Dirham. Arabic, Phagspa (Mongol Yuan) and Uyghur.

 

Great coin, LS. A type I have wanted for awhile but other coins get in the way.

 

Thanks.. I am still itching for a coin bearing Genghis' actual name instead of just his title. However, I am still very much divided over the premium behind them just for the name
