<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Conduitt, post: 7468805, member: 109923&quot;]I have a feeling it&#039;s a fals of Badr al-Din Lu&#039;lu&#039;, issued under Mongol rule. Not unlike this one (Album 1876): <a href="https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces150037.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces150037.html" rel="nofollow">https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces150037.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Lu&#039;lu</p><p>al-malik al-rahim</p><p>badr al-din</p><p>sultan al-islam</p><p>abu al-fadail</p><p><br /></p><p>Mongke</p><p>qaan-i azam</p><p>khudawand-i &#039;alam</p><p>padishah-i rui</p><p>zamin zayyada &#039;azamatahu</p><p><br /></p><p>I have one, but overstruck:</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Hulagu Khan Fals, 1260-1261, overstruck on a Badr al-Din Lu&#039;lu&#039; Fals, 1258-1259</b></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1293487[/ATTACH]</p><p><b>Sinjar (Iraq), the Ilkhanate.

The type is often found overstruck, especially on Album 1874.1.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
