The Jalayrids ruled in part of Iran from A.D. 1335-1432 and maintained separate coinage for their territories in the northwest, monetarily tied to Tabriz and in Iraq (including Khuzistan), where the Baghdad currency was used. At times the Jalayrid rulers were recognised in parts of the Muzaffarid lands (which used the Shirazi currency). Jalayrid coins struck in the Shirazi currency zone conform to the Shirazi weight standards. The Jalayrids were driven out by Timur in 1393, but staged abrief recovery, mainly in southern Iraq and Khuzistan after his death in 1404.
