Mongol Monetary Trends
Wealth creation through finance and trade was the driving force for the development of money during the Mongol Empire. Originally, currency copied prevailing systems in each conquered area that eventually became more or less integrated with steppe traditions and imperial ambitions. With the first moves outside Mongolia into Tangut territory, Chinggis Khan’s initial financial arrangements centered on tribute in the form of products, such as camels…
A Mongol in the Cairo Mint
The name Ilqāy appears on small monetary weights for 1251 and 1252 in Cairo at the beginning of Mamlūk rule. This person was a high official in the treasury, responsible for regulating monetary transactions. However, the name is not Arabic but Mongolian—and at this point, the Mamlūks and Mongols were contesting the Middle East. This article traces the meaning of the unique name and its appearance in Mongol history. It then discusses the hypotheti…
The Ethos of State and Society in the Early Mongol Empire
The following joint article is a departure from standard studies, in that historical research is put side-by-side with numismatic evidence. It reflects the growing awareness of the underlying concepts of steppe society that significantly shaped the formation and endurance of the Mongol Empire.

This book explores the administration of Iran under Mongol rule through taxation and monetary policy. A consistent development is evident only from abundant numismatic material, from the conquest of Samarqand by Chingiz Khan to the reign of the penultimate ruler, Uljaytu. In many cases, the individuals responsible for initiating and conducting the policies can be identified from the histories or remarks of the mint master. The structure of the em…

Khukh Ordung, A Uighur Palace Complex of the Seventh Century
Inhabitants of the Mongolian Plateau have been staunchly nomadic. Cities rarely existed before the Russian hegemony, and at that point they first attached themselves to pre-existing Buddhist monasteries. The exception to this general pattern was the Uighurs, who had an empire in the eighth and early ninth centuries. They built several cities, extended and maintained a flourishing trade network, established sufficient agriculture and developed urb…
