[QUOTE="THCoins, post: 4527774, member: 57364"]To demonstrate that there also was some continuity, with al those changing regimes, i can show these three examples: The first is Ghorid in name of Taj al-Din Yildiz. On the coin he declares himself as the devoted slave of former ruler Mu'izz al-Din Muhammad bin Sam. [ATTACH=full]1121459[/ATTACH] The second is the same basic design.
