Comment
The exact location of where this coin is uncertain. Dulkadir is a possibily, due to that place being on the frontier of both the Ilkhans and the Seljuqs of Rum, but that proposal is purely conjectural.With the style being similar to the Anatolian Beyliks before 1350, and with the Ilkhanate founded in 1256, this was likely struck somewhere between 1256-1350.

Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great cultural and artistic achievement in the Anatolian Beyliks, a period known as the "Golden Age" of Islamic civilization. This era saw significant advancements in fields such as mathematics, astronomy, medicine, and literature, and the coin's design may reflect some of these cultural influences.
