Nāṣīr al-dīn Ibrāhīm. (c. AH 721-724, c. AD 1321-24)

 

Coinage

 

Very few coins are known in the name of Nāṣīr al-dīn Ibrāhīm alone. Its style is rather crude and its status uncertain. It is reported that Ibrāhīm had designs on the throne while his brother was in control. This coin may bear witness to an unsuccessful rebellion against his brother and was probably not produced at the imperial mint at Lakhnautī. The coin is not dated but is likely to have been struck some time between AH 721-724.
