Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Malikshah II, who was the son of Qilij Arslan and succeeded his father as the Sultan of the Rum Sultanate in 1196. During his reign, Malikshah II faced several challenges, including the threat of the Crusaders and the rivalry with the neighboring Sultanate of Iconium. Despite these challenges, he managed to maintain the stability and prosperity of the Rum Sultanate, and his coinage, such as this 1 Fals coin, reflects the economic and cultural achievements of his reign.
