Comment
Broome 317Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features two rosettes on its reverse side, which were a unique design element during the reign of Kaykhusraw II. These rosettes are believed to represent the two major cities of the Rûm Sultanate at the time: Sivas and Iconium. This design element helps to distinguish this coin from other coins of the same era and makes it a valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in the history of the Rûm Sultanate.
