Comment
While the date and the name of the ruler is known, the city this rebellion took place in is not yet confirmed.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Mas'ud III, who was the last Sultan of the Rûm Sultanate, which was a Turkish state that existed in Anatolia (modern-day Turkey) from the 13th to the 14th century. Despite being the last Sultan, Mas'ud III's reign was marked by political instability and conflict, which may have contributed to the uncertainty surrounding the city where this coin was minted.
