[QUOTE="Pellinore, post: 4851565, member: 74834"]You must be 800 years old to remember that... [ATTACH=full]1171669[/ATTACH] I can well imagine the inhabitants of Baghdad rose against Hulagu, they didn't have much choice: fight to your death or be executed anyhow. Don't know about the popularity of the Abbasids: they lasted 500 years and had their ups and downs, their popularity probably just as much. I don't have Hulagu coins, but here's a coin of his brother Möngke, minted between 1252 and 1261 (Baghdad was destroyed in 1258). [ATTACH=full]1171675[/ATTACH] This is a very large coin, that was once silvered: AE broad dirham Möngke Khan (1251-1259). Otrar, AH 650-658. 40 mm, 8.35 gr. Album 1978C.1.
