FALCON HUNTING

Buyids or Seljuqids, Silver double-sided medallion with a hunting motif circa 1100-1200 CE. Obverse and reverse: Ruler with falcon in his left hand riding left. Marginal inscription: Qur’an CXII: 1-4. 2,96g. Ilisch 1985, 33var.

Provenance: Heritage World Coin Auctions NYS Sale 3021 (January 2013), 21649.

Grading/Status: An extraordinary example of this medallion representing falcon hunting. Good very fine.

Notes
This beautiful and carefully designed medallion weighing a little less than a classical dirham used in medieval Iran features an Islamic ruler depicted as a rider with a falcon sitting on his wrist. The marginal section of the medallion filled in with the Qur’anic Surat al-Ikhlāṣ illustrates the concept of monotheism in Islam.
