I think you overestimated him, he could only affected Iran if he had not converted to Islam, Iran may have large minority of Christians or Buddists if he continue to practice Christian. But remember this Iran had become part of Islam long before Mongol arrival and Mongol population of Illkhanate is small compared to local Persians. And the most important factor to me is that the Islam in 14 century is totally different compare to it today. |

Without him, the Middle East would not have become Islamic
It appears that this Mongol ruler, who decided to convert to Islam, had an enormous impact on history. Without him, the middle east might have become Buddhist. Appropriately, such an influential historical figure should have a better and expanded article. John Hyams 22:31, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
I think you overestimated him, he could only affected Iran if he had not converted to Islam, Iran may have large minority of Christians or Buddists if he continue to practice Christian. But remember this Iran had become part of Islam long before Mongol arrival and Mongol population of Illkhanate is small compared to local Persians. And the most important factor to me is that the Islam in 14 century is totally different compare to it today.
Arabic legend
Obv: Legend in Arabic: ﻢﻠﺳﻭ ﻪﻴﻠﻋ ﻰﻠﺻ ﻪﻠﻟﺍﻝﻮﺳﺭ ﺪﻤﺤﻣ ﻪﻠﻟﺍﻻﺍﻪﻟﺍﻻ/ ﺰﻳﺮﺒﺗ ﺏﺮﺿ/ ... ﻊﺒﺳ ﺔﻨﺳ ﻰﻓ Lailahe illallah Muhammed resulullah salli aleyhe. Duribe Tebriz fi sene xxx.
Rev: Legend in Uyghur (except for "Ghazan Mahmud" in Arabic): Tengri-yin Küchündür. Ghazan Mahmud. Ghasanu Deledkegülügsen: "By the strength of the Heaven/ Ghazan Mahmud/ Coin struck for Ghazan".
Tabriz mint. 4.0gr. Silver.
Would anyone be able to translate the legend in Arabic on the coin of Ghazan?:
ﻢﻠﺳﻭ ﻪﻴﻠﻋ ﻰﻠﺻ ﻪﻠﻟﺍﻝﻮﺳﺭ ﺪﻤﺤﻣ ﻪﻠﻟﺍﻻﺍﻪﻟﺍﻻ/ ﺰﻳﺮﺒﺗ ﺏﺮﺿ/ ... ﻊﺒﺳ ﺔﻨﺳ ﻰﻓ Lailahe illallah Muhammed resulullah salli aleyhe. Duribe Tebriz fi sene xxx
It also seems that the Arabic date on the obverse of the coin is 692 AH.
Could any Arabic-reading Wikipedian confirm?

- I am a native speaker of Arabic. Such ancient fonts are not easily read by modern Arab. "There is no God but Allah, Muhammed is His Prophet" is written on the left coin. I can read only Ghazan Mahmoud on the right coin and can't read the rest. --Meno25 21:56, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
- Thank you!! I think the date is in the upper right corner of the face of the coin. Can you read 692 or something else? Regards. PHG 05:56, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
Mint: Bāzār. Date: AH 701 (AD 1301-1302). Aramgar (talk) 02:47, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
- Thank you for the great info! Would you be able to confirm the exact legend? Is it:
ﻢﻠﺳﻭ ﻪﻴﻠﻋ ﻰﻠﺻ ﻪﻠﻟﺍﻝﻮﺳﺭ ﺪﻤﺤﻣ ﻪﻠﻟﺍﻻﺍﻪﻟﺍﻻ/ ﺰﻳﺮﺒﺗ ﺏﺮﺿ/ ... ﻊﺒﺳ ﺔﻨﺳ ﻰﻓ Lailahe illallah Muhammed resulullah salli aleyhe. Duribe Bāzār fi sene 701 If so, would you have the capability to fill-in the arabic as well? Best regards. PHG (talk) 05:41, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
Article title
Wikipedia guidelines are that an article should be titled by the "most common name" that a subject is known. For this individual, I think that Ghazan or Ghazan Khan is more common. This would also bring the title into something more consistent with the other Ilkhanate leaders. What do other editors think? --Elonka 02:15, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
Ghazan is perfect --Enerelt (talk) 07:01, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
Image
Here is a nice image of Ghazan with his wife at his court. Feel free to insert it in the article. Cheers PHG (talk) 12:35, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
- Agreed, it's a beautiful picture, thanks. :) I'll try to find a place for it on my next edit. --Elonka 18:45, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
- You're very welcome. Try not deleting too much content at the same time you insert the image :)) Cheers PHG (talk) 18:49, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
- Does the source indicate which wife? Is it Kökechin? --Elonka 06:30, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
- Whoahhh, this is a very interesting suggestion, I hadn't thought of that. My source only says "Ghazan with his wife at his court", but I guess it could well be Kökechin indeed in the picture. I don't know for sure that she was his first wife, but I suppose she must have been, as she was bethrothed by Kubilai Khan himself. Thanks for the great idea, although we must clearly remain cautious in the caption. Cheers PHG (talk) 19:43, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

Ghazan's mother
Bulugan was childless queen. But She good took care of Ghazan.I think some of European sources probably made a mistake. Gaikhatu was not his brother but uncle. --Enerelt (talk) 10:40, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
Coinage
Here's a coin gold of the Ghazan period. Feel free to insert it into the article. PHG (talk) 19:18, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
