BUWAYHID, ABU KALIJAR, Dinar, Amul 438h. OBVERSE: In field: Shah | la ilaha illa Allah | wahdahu la sharik lahu | Shahanshah al-A- | ‘zama malik al-A- | rd. REVERSE: In field: lillah | Muhammad rasul Allah | al-Qa’im bi-amr allah | Fakhr Din Allah | Sultan Din Allah | Abu Kalijar | Buwayh. WEIGHT: 3.18g. CONDITION: Very fine to good very fine and of the highest rarity, apparently unpublished. This unrecorded coin sheds new light on the history of Amul during the fifth century. Writing in 1967 Stern knew of no coins from Amul for the century between 388h (a Buwayhid dirham) and 486h (a Seljuq dinar). Since then three dinars of Amul dated 437h, 439h and 441h have come to light (see Diler p. 27), all struck in the name of the Great Seljuq ruler Tughril Beg, suggesting that Stern was correct to assume that Amul came under Seljuq control during the course of the 5/11th century. The present piece, however, demonstrates that the Buwayhid Abu Kalijar was able to strike coins in his name in Amul for at least this one year during this period of Seljuq rule. It may have been this that prompted the Seljuqs themselves to issue coins there at this time and thereby confirm their own authority, given that Amul otherwise seems to have been largely inactive as a mint for the decades between 390-480h.
