<p>[QUOTE="altaycoins, post: 3112550, member: 16466"]I would like to share few coins that I've added to my collection in the last month. I am pretty happy that almost all of them are all either rare types or from rare mints. I am expecting one more amazing coin and I will add it here when it will arrive. </p><p><br /></p><p>Let's start.</p><p><br /></p><p>First one is a silver 6 dirham (equivalent to one dinar) from Abu Said. The mint Shabankara is a rare mint from the southern Iran.</p><p><br /></p><blockquote><blockquote><blockquote><blockquote><p>Ilkhans, Abu Sa'id, AR 6 Dirham, Shabankara, 722.</p></blockquote></blockquote></blockquote></blockquote><p><img src="http://altaycoins.com/sikke_paralari/158_2_37153_.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>Second one is an extremely rare mint of Khurtu (Hortu). It is a village near today's Eskişehir in Turkey. This village is supposed to be the birthplace of the character of Nasir ed-Din Hoja who is a famous character known with his folkloric (and ironic) stories.</p><p><br /></p><blockquote><blockquote><blockquote><blockquote><blockquote><p>Ilkhans, Abu Sa'id, AR 2 Dirham, Khurtu, Khani 33.</p></blockquote></blockquote></blockquote></blockquote></blockquote><p><img src="http://altaycoins.com/sikke_paralari/158_2_14267_.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>Third one. Although there is a hole on it, I don't mind as it is a fals that I haven't seen before (and I am currently preparing a catalog on Ilkhan bronze coins).</p><p><br /></p><blockquote><blockquote><blockquote><blockquote><blockquote><p>Ilkhans, Uljaytu, AE Fals, Nakhjawan , DM.</p></blockquote></blockquote></blockquote></blockquote></blockquote><p><img src="http://altaycoins.com/sikke_paralari/157_2_54091_.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>Number four is a common type but a very rare mint from the northeastern Turkey.</p><p><br /></p><blockquote><blockquote><blockquote><blockquote><p>Ilkhans, Abu Sa'id, AR 2 Dirham, Belakhur, 722 AH.</p></blockquote></blockquote></blockquote></blockquote><p><img src="http://altaycoins.com/sikke_paralari/158_2_48591_.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>Fifth coin that I want to show you is a present from a member of CoinTalk <font size="4"><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/conversations/members/thcoins.57364/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/conversations/members/thcoins.57364/"><b>THCoins</b></a>.</font> <font size="4">I would like to thank him once again.
