Abstract
Hulagu, a grandson of Genghis Khan, secured Mongol rule in Persia and the Caucasus within a few years, destroyed the Abbasid empire in 1258 and advanced into Syria, where the Mamluks halted him at Ain Jalut in 1260. The coins of the Ilkhans show a vast number of mints, which together map the extent of the realm; its western border ran for a time from Sinope by way of Ankara and Konya to Kayseri, and the most productive mints were Erzurum, Ahlat and Erzincan. Within this area, west of Lake Van, lies the town of Mus, often mentioned in the history of Asia Minor but not previously known as a mint.
