Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Ala ad-Din Kayqubad III Dirham coin is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Mongolian influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the name and title of the Sultan in Arabic, while the reverse side features a stylized Mongolian-style dragon, symbolizing the influence of the Mongol Empire that had conquered much of the Islamic world at the time. This blending of cultural elements reflects the complex history and cultural exchange that characterized the Rûm Sultanate during its existence.
