Ayyubids. Mayyafariqin & Jabal Sinjar. al-Ashraf I Musa (1210–1220 AD). Dirham Sinjar mint (No reserve price)

Al-Ashraf I Musa was an Ayyubid ruler who governed parts of northern Mesopotamia, including Mayyafariqin and the Jabal Sinjar region, from 1210 to 1220 AD. The silver dirhams minted in Sinjar under his authority reflect the localized control exercised by various Ayyubid family members over distinct territories. These coins are significant for showing how the fragmented yet interconnected Ayyubid domains maintained their own minting rights while participating in a common cultural and political framework. Featuring Arabic calligraphy with the ruler's titles and religious inscriptions, such dirhams provide important numismatic evidence for the administration, economy, and artistic traditions in the medieval Islamic world during a period of decentralization and regional diversity.
