Ex Steve Album with his described envelope. The only ruler of this state who struck coinage was Amir Wali who emerged in Astarabad after the fall of the Ilkhans. His coinage is anonymous and can be easily confused with that of the Sarbadars. The Sarbadarids later lost the Damaghan region to Amir Wali during the 760's and he was later suppressed by Timur in 783.
