Seljuqs, Great Seljuq. Mu'izz al-Din Ahmad Sanjar. AH 511-552 / AD 1118-1157. AV Dinar (19.8mm, 4.40 g, 5h). Madinat al-Salam mint. Dated AH 522 (AD 1128). Jafar, Seljuq S.MS.522 (same dies as illustration); Album 1686. AU, fully lustrous and virtually as struck. Rare.

From the plates in Jafar’s study, it appears that dinars struck at Baghdad in the year AH 522 were of markedly smaller module than other contemporary gold issues from the ‘Abbasid capital.
