Definition

• Marsden statesNumismata Orientalia Illustrata,1823-1825 (i. 372) that this term "does not belong to a particular denomination, being applied to such pieces, whether of gold or silver, as are distinguished by the toghra or royal cipher, and that of zingirli (from zingir, a chain) seems to be given only to those coins which have been pierced with a hole for the purpose of hanging them on a chain about the neck."
