Flusch Pubblico Deposited
Also called Khodabandi. A Persian silver coin of the Sufi or Sal'i dynasty. Its value was one half Abbasi or two Shahis. It is also known as the Sad-Dinar.
At Bassorah, in Asia-Minor, a money of account formerly prevailed based on the Persian system, as follows:
1 Toman = 100 Mahmudi or Mamudix
= 1000 Danims or Danimes
= 10,000 Flusch
According to Noback, Munz, Mass, und Gewichts-verhaltnisse. 1850. (p. 652), the Mahmudi was also a former copper coin of Maskat, and the twentieth part of the Piastre or Spanish Dollar. It was sub- divided into twenty Gass or Goz.
