Abstract
The mountain region is one of the most important regions of the Islamic East, as it was distinguished by an important strategic location inhabited by many princes of Islamic states, including the princes of the Kakoy family. Its main cities are: Isfahan and Hamadan, the subject of this research, in addition to many other cities in this region. Coins have received great attention from the rulers and sultans because they are one of the most important signs of the king and the sultan that every ruler was keen to take upon assuming power, and because they are an important media means because of their wide spread and speed of circulation. They are related to the state’s economies, policies and all its commercial and financial conditions. It reveals the relationships of the states, emirates and successive families, and the political, economic, social and religious phenomena are manifested in them through the writings, symbols, drawings and lines inscribed in them, as well as their weights and countries that they came with.
This research deals with the study of the coins of Prince Dahir al-Din Abu Mansur Faramers bin Muhammad bin Dashmanzar bin Kakuyeh in Isfahan and Hamadan (398-443 AH / 1007-1051AD). Since these cities were the center of their rule and their main role in minting coins, they were studied in terms of what was inscribed on the face and back of these coins such as writings and phrases, analyzing them and linking the writings on them to the historical events of the years they were minted.
The study was divided into two sections and a conclusion. The first one includes the origin of the Banu Kakuyeh. As for the second study, it deals with the coins of Prince Dahir al-Din Abu Mansur Farramers bin Ala like the dinars and dirhams that were minted in the two mint houses of Isfahan and Hamadan, and the conclusion camoes to show the most prominent results of the research
