Hello!
For the Ilkhanate, here is what I am thinking. Lines 34 to 40:

----- Ilkhanate
---------- Georgia, Viceroyalty of
---------- Ilkhanate
---------- Ilkhanate, Chobanid Puppet state of
---------- Ikhanate, Jalayirid Puppet state of
---------- Western Khorasan, Ilkhanates of
---------- Yasa'ur's Rebellion
So… the Ilkhanate itself is fairly self-explanatory.
Yasa'ur's Rebellion took place between Herat and Kabul in Afghanistan (large area; smaller than Ilkhanate).
The Viceroy of Georgia who issued coins was installed between 1299-1318. He issued coin only after he was removed, in rebellion (but the coins are still found within the same area, so… rebel of his previous area).
After 1335, the Ilkhanate fractured into many smaller dynasties, which I will tackle in my next thread; however, even after 1335, those states continued to employ puppet rulers for the Ilkhanate itself, and coins continued to be minted. That is where the Chobanid and Julayirid puppet states come from. It is fairly confusing to me, but from what I can piece together: the Ilkhanate dissolved in 1335, but those dynasties declared puppet rulers of the entire area, who continued making coins. So the circulation areas of the coins from these puppet regions would have been different, even though the rulers would have claimed to be the khan of the same area… if that makes sense. Numismatically, I think two new issuers are valid.
And the Ilkhanates of Western Khorasan also come from the post-1335 era--another claimant for the throne who was supported not only by the Jalayirid for a few years, but also a few other break-away states. This ruler has a more definable geographical area than the puppet rulers (i.e., Western Khorasan).
Thoughts on all this? :)
