چکیده:
The rulers of Tabaristan, prior to the conquest of the region by Muslim Arabs, minted coins independently. The general motifs of the coins bear a strong resemblance to Sasanian coinage, but their weight, size, inscription themes, and imagery differ from Sasanian dirhams. Their dating, unlike the Sasanian period (which is based on the accession date of each king), is based on the anniversary of the death of Yazdegerd III. These changes are more evident in the Abbasid vassal coins, and various types of them have been identified. In this research, an attempt has been made to identify and differentiate between the various types of coins of the Ispahbads and Arab vassals during the transitional era. The results of the research show that the independent kings and Abbasid vassals had more than one type of coin in terms of script, motifs, and symbols. This research was conducted with a cultural history approach, using library studies and the examination of coins in museums and collections as data collection tools.
خلاصه ماشینی:
Despite the great similarity to Sasanian coinage, the coins of this period differ from them in terms of weight, size, year and place of minting, as well as subject matter, written content, material, and dating methods.
The first type, opposite the face, has Al-Mahdi Muhammad in Kufic, and on the left side in the field, bin Amir al-Mu'minin is inscribed, and in the second segment of the margin, the phrase has appeared.
In the second segment of the margin, Amir al-Mu'minin is in Kufic; on the back of the coin, the designs of the fire altar and guardians appear, with the mint location on the right and the mint year on the left in Pahlavi script.
This coin was minted in the years 126 to 127 of Tabaristan and, except for the name of the emir, has complete similarity to the third type in terms of writing, symbols, and signs (Image 13).
The fifth type, the name of the emir is fully written in Pahlavi script in the field and in the second and third segments of the margin in Kufic as Umar bin al-Ala. Compared to the other coins, this coin is considered the most complete type in terms of writing.
(Image 18) The second type; like the previous type, the name of the emir (Yahya) is written in Kufic script opposite the face, but the iris flower motif has not appeared on the margin.
(Image 22) In the second type, the name of the emir (Jarir) in Kufic script appears in the third segment of the margin instead of the word in Pahlavi.
