What the paper says

Abstract This article examines two types of coinage issued by the Bani Khalid Emirate in the eighteenth century as sources for understanding regional political and economic relationships. It focuses on two coins from al-Hasaʾ, the ṭawīlat al-Ḥasāʾ, a copper larin, and a set of copper fulūs. These are analysed together with local documentary sources to explore three key topics First, I situate the currency within the eighteenth-century ‘copper boom’, which helps explain the issuance of copper larins long after silver ones had disappeared from the Persian Gulf and Arabian Sea. Second, I examine Khalidid coinage within broader development of ‘copper autonomies’ in the eastern Ottoman world and Iran. Third, this coinage sheds light on shifting relations with the Ottoman Empire, particularly through the inclusion or omission of the sultan’s name. Together, these coins offer insights into the economy and politics of the Bani Khalid Emirate and the regional place of al-Hasaʾ.
