GOLDEN HORDE: Shadi Beg, 1401-1407, AR dirham (1.08g), Urdu Mu'azzam, AH(8)03, A-2053, date largely off flan but sufficiently legible, usual weakness, Very Fine, RRR, ex. Tony Ettinger collection. Zeno lists no coins of Shadi Beg of the mint of Urdu Mu'azzam, which is boldly clear on this specimen. The issues of Shadi Beg of Urdu (without mu'azzam) all bear the kalima on the reverse, where this piece has only the mint & date on the reverse and lacks the kalima altogether. The obverse is calligraphically so similar to Zeno-92175 that it can only be an issue of Shadi Beg. Roman Reza has recently confirmed to me that dirhams of Shadi Beg with the mint name Urdu Mu'azzam are indeed known.
