The Medieval era is an important era for Kurds. In that era many Kurdish emirates declared their independence and as symbols of independence they minted coins and read sermon. One of those emirates is Roshkan emirate. Mir Shamsaddīn Walī is the first emir of this dynasty who minted coin in his name.
