Comment
Coins of this rebel were struck at mints in Konya and Lu'lu'a (Lulue), but the dies for all the coins of were of such distinctive style that they must have been engraved by local jewelers with little die-cutting experience.Interesting fact
The coin features a unique blend of Islamic and Mongolian influences in its design, reflecting the cultural exchange and political alliances of the time.
