Historical studies can be conducted using various sources, among which coins minted by governments are considered one of the most significant. Coins serve as a medium for economic exchange and carry political, religious, financial, artistic, and linguistic information. With the rise of the Ilkhanate, the scholarly value of coins in historiography was preserved, as Ilkhanid coins contain valuable information about their relations, particularly with the Khāns based in Mongolia and China, as well as with some semi-independent subordinate states such as Armenia, Fārs, and Kermān. These coins provide insights into economic conditions, religion, language, naming conventions, the status of women, and other principles of governance, thereby filling gaps in historical texts. The main question of this research is: What historiographical information can be extracted from Ilkhanid coins? This study employs a descriptive-explanatory method, utilizing library resources and articles, while relying on coins available in museums to examine the subject. The findings of this research indicate that the Mongols, aiming to maintain political cohesion and synergy with the people of conquered territories, used Islamic symbols on coins to prevent political issues arising from changes in religious practices. Furthermore, the study of coins in the mentioned museums has challenged some previous beliefs regarding the nature of the relationships between various Ilkhans and the Khāns, the reversion of Öljaitü from Shia Islam, the rationale behind the use of the Chinese language, and several other assumptions, while also introducing new perspectives.
