[QUOTE="Pellinore, post: 4618819, member: 74834"]Thanks for your write-up of an interesting dynasty. Naturally, kings often descended from coppersmiths. I recently bought a coin from the Ziyarids, and their foremost emir was called Wushmagir. Turned out that strange name just means "Quail Catcher". Here's my only Saffarid, a small gold coin.
