The Silver Coins of \u201cPrince Simeon\u2019s People\u201d: An Unknown Part of the Numismatics of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abstract: <\/strong>The paper sheds light on the countermarked imitations of silver coins of the Jochid Khan Said-Ahmad II (1433\u20131452). The authors identified 38 punches that were used for countermarking, allowing us to say with confidence that the size of this countermarked issue was quite large. The countermarked imitations of the dangs of Said-Ahmad II have not previously been examined in the numismatic literature. This is due to the rarity of these coins, which were previously known only from occasional, single finds. Such countermarks have rarely been published on the pages of Internet numismatic forums and have received the conditional name of \u201cinverted Allah\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These countermarks were a \u201cfree imitation\u201d of the Lithuanian Columns: they all have three prongs facing upwards. We suggest that these countermarked coins belong to the \u201cTatars of Said-Ahmad\u201d, who minted them in order to meet the needs of local money circulation (mostly on the territory of the left bank of the Dnieper River). They issued their silver coins in the 1450s (and, perhaps, a little later), deliberately imitating the dangs of Said-Ahmad II.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We arrive at the conclusion that these numismatic artefacts were minted (with a high probability) in the ulus of \u201cPrince Simeon\u2019s people\u201d \u2013 the last territorial acquisition of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key words: <\/strong>Prince Simeon\u2019s people, Grand Duchy of Lithuania, Said-Ahmad II, dang imitations, countermarked coins<\/p>\n\n\n\n
