The Mongols in Iran : Chingiz Khan to Uljaytu, 1220-1309
"The Mongols in Iran: Chingiz Khan to Uljaytu, 1220–1309" by Judith Kolbas examines Iran's administration under Mongol rule, focusing on taxation and monetary policy. Through extensive numismatic analysis, the book traces developments from Chingiz Khan's conquest of Samarqand to Uljaytu's reign. It identifies key figures behind these policies, often referencing mint masters' remarks. The study highlights how mint production, coin styles, and metal types delineate the empire's structure. Kolbas argues that the Mongols disrupted rigid Islamic monetary traditions, fostering economic growth by promoting trade and scientific advancements, particularly in astronomy and mathematics
