As the latter declined in the late 900’s AD, the slave commanders took control of areas on the fringes of the Samanid empire, one of them being the area around Ghazni, [[Afghanistan]]. They eventually controlled parts of [[Pakistan]], [[Iran]], [[Afghanistan]], [[Uzbekistan]], and [[India]]. They weakened after prolonged conflict with the Ghorids (despite a productive alliance with the Seljuqs), losing [[Afghanistan]] and [[Iran]] by 1150 AD. They hung on until 1186 in Lahore [[Pakistan]], when they were defeated by Khusrau Malik.<br /> <br /> The specimen shown was lot 430 in Steve Album sale 16 (Santa Rosa, CA, May 2013), where it did sold for US$300.
