Very nice quality for this type (coins from Otrar are usually very poorly struck).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter Qaidu died in 1301\/1302, leadership of his faction in Central Asia - including key centers such as Otrar - passed to his son Chapār (also spelled Chabar). Chapar briefly inherited his father’s position and attempted to maintain control over Qaidu’s territories and influence within the Chaghataid realm. However, he soon faced opposition from other Chinggisid princes, particularly Duwa, which led to the rapid fragmentation of Qaidu’s power base and the decline of the Ögedeid line’s dominance in the region. He was overthrown in 1306. Chapar continued issuing coins in his father's style.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NumisMall.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51019052056891,"sku":"x4002-60678","price":195.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0447\/1750\/6710\/files\/w60678.jpg?v=1772640338","url":"https:\/\/www.numismall.com\/products\/very-rare-date-silver-dirham-temp-chapar-1302-1306-705-ah-otrar-ogedeid-mongols","provider":"NumisMall","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
