Abstract

Abstract:
 A hoard[1] of 108 copper coins "Jitāls" were found[2], and now preserved in the Oriental Coin cabinet in Jena, OMJ (Orientalisches Münzkabinett Jena)[3], one of them is Ghaznāwid, 6 belonging to the Khwārizm Shāhs dynasty, and 101 belonging to the Great Mongols dynasty.
This paper presents the coins of the hoard, as they are all unpublished, and analysis the contents. The die study focuses on the micro details of these coins, in attempt to identify the origin of the hoard and the time of its stash as well as the activities of the mints during that period.
The present study supported with a plan of the dies of the Mongol coins which considered the largest portion of the hoard. 
الملخص:
 يحتفظ مرکز دراسات المسکوکات الشرقية في جامعة يينا في ألمانيا بکنز من النقود النحاسية التي تسمى جيتال، ويتکون هذا الکنز من ١٠٨ قطعة، وتصنف هذه القطع کما يلي: قطعة واحدة ترجع إلى العصر الغزنوي، و٦ قطع ضُربت في فترة حکم دولة خوارزم شاه، و١٠١ قطعة ترجع إلى عصر المغول العظام. تستعرض الدراسة هذه النقود حيث لم يسبق نشرها أو دراستها من قبل، ويرتکز البحث على منهجية حديثة في دراسة المسکوکات التي تعتمد على دراسة القوالب في تحليل محتويات الکنز، في محاولة للتعرف على مکان وزمان الاکتناز.



[1]- Old coins are normally discovered either as single finds or as part of a large group, known as a hoard, which can vary from just a few pieces to many thousand.


[2]- I do not have much information about the circumstances of the excavating of the hoard, because I think it was donated to OMJ, by one of the supporters of the collection.


[3]- I owe my gratitude to Stefan Heidemann (Universität Hamburg), for his generous help by providing me with the photos and the data of this hoard.
