The Ikhshidid dynasty of Egypt (sometimes transliterated other ways) ruled from 935 to 969. The dynasty carried the Arabic title "Wali" reflecting their position as governors on behalf of the Abbasids, the first governor was Muhammad bin Tughj Al-Ikhshid, a Turkic slave soldier, who was installed by the Abbasid Caliph and gave him and his descendants the Wilayah for 30 years, the last name Ikhshid is Soghdian for "prince" also given as title by the Caliph. The dynasty came to an end when the Fatimid army conquered Cairo in 969.

Coinage[link]

Ikhshidid dynasty at its Greatest Extent

Only gold coins are common, with coppers being extremely rare. Dinars were mainly struck at Misr (Fustat) & Filastin (al-Ramla), and dirhams were usually struck at Filastin, and less often at Tabariya, Dimashq, and Hims. Other mints for dirhams are quite rare. Dinars from Misr are often well struck, while the Filastin dinars are more crude. Dirhams are usually crudely struck and often are illegible on half of the coin.[1]
