چکیده:
It is evident that information from written sources is accompanied by deficiencies, and these works have borrowed from previous texts throughout their historical course. For instance, by studying Raha al-Sudur al-Ravandi, Zubdat al-Nasra al-Bandari Isfahani, or other sources, significant information regarding the local history of Iran during the Seljuk era cannot be obtained; these matters were repeated and summarized in later works such as Rawzat al-Safa of al-Nasiri. Therefore, by referring to non-written sources such as inscriptions, seals, and clay tablets, one can find ways into the dark corners of Iranian history during the Seljuk period. In this article, we examine a coin remaining from the Seljuk era that has not been introduced until now, which can be considered one of the historical documents of Iran at the beginning of the formation of Seljuk power in Gorgan. By using this coin, the deficiencies of some written texts related to the Seljuk period are addressed. Thus, while explaining the rise of Seljuk power in Gorgan and Tabaristan by citing inscriptions and comparing them with ancient texts, this research introduces a local emir named Mardavij bin Bashu-Basu, who accepted the sovereignty and leadership of Tughril Seljuk and the Abbasid Caliph.

Introduction Usually, Iranian historical texts are silent regarding the beginning of the formation of a dynasty, the main cause of its fall, and many events, especially uprisings, and in general, our written sources and texts are incomplete and in their historical progression, they are mostly indebted to the texts before them; for example, by studying Raha al-Sudur by Ravandi or Zubdat al-Nasra wa al-Nukhba al-Usra by Bandari Isfahani, significant information, especially regarding the local history of Iran during the Seljuk era, cannot be obtained, and those same matters have been repeated and summarized in later centuries in works such as Musamarat al-Akhbar and Musayarat al-Akhyar, Nizam al-Tawarikh, Akhbar Salajiqat al-Rum and Seljuqnameh of Ibn Bibi, Utbat al-Kutaba, and Tarikh Al Seljuq until Rawzat al-Safa by Nasiri.
