Interesting fact
The Dirham coin , issued during the reign of Kaykhusraw III of the Rûm Sultanate, features a unique design element - a stylized depiction of the crescent moon and a five-pointed star on the obverse side. This symbolism was commonly used in Seljuk art and architecture, and it's believed to represent the Islamic faith and the Sultanate's connection to the larger Islamic world.
