Note: The Begtimurids Dynasty, during the reign of Sayf al-Din Begtimur, marked a significant period in Anatolia and al-Jazira following the decline of the Seljuk Empire. The AE Dirham coins minted during this era, likely from an uncertain mint, possibly Ahlat, reflect the dynasty’s efforts to assert control and establish stability in the region. Ahlat, situated on the shores of Lake Van in modern-day Turkey, was a prominent center of commerce and culture during medieval times. As a potential minting location, Ahlat played a crucial role in producing coins that facilitated trade and economic activity in the Begtimurid realm.
