Baybars al-Jashankir took over the rule during the second sultanate of al-Nasir Muhammad ibn Qalawun after the latter left Cairo and retired to Karak. However, al-Jashankir\u2019s sultanate did not last long, as he failed to gain the loyalty of the elite or even the support of the common people. The country\u2019s conditions worsened, and dangers and threats piled up against it. After about a year, al-Nasir Muhammad ibn Qalawun returned to begin his third sultanate and ordered Baybars al-Jashankir to be strangled and buried behind the citadel.<\/div>\n

The coins of Baybars II \u2013 al-Jashankir \u2013 are among the rarest of the rare, due to the short period of his rule and perhaps also because of al-Nasir Muhammad ibn Qalawun\u2019s keenness to erase his memory. Just as al-Nasir ordered the removal of the name al-Jashankir written on the khanqah that he had built, he may also have ordered the melting down of the dirhams and dinars that bore his name and re-minted them.<\/p>\n

Some people make a mistake in classifying the coins of Baybars II because of the similarity of his name to that of Baybars I. However, we should note that the title of the first is Al-Zahir, while the title of the second is Al-Muzaffar. Likewise, the first is attributed to his teacher, King Al-Salih Ayyub, and is called Baybars Al-Salihi, while the second is attributed to his teacher, King Al-Mansur Qalawun, and is called Baybars Al-Mansuri. Moreover, the nickname of the second is Abu Al-Fath, and it has appeared on some of his dinars.<\/p>\n

Here we present two examples of dinars from Baybars II
The first dinar was minted in Cairo and the second in Damascus.
Both were struck in the year 709 AH<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
