Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Dirham - Masu'd II 684 (1286) from Rûm Sultanate 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, Masu'd II, in Arabic script, while the reverse side features a stylized depiction of a Mongolian horseman, reflecting the influence of the Mongol Empire that had conquered much of the Islamic world at the time. This blending of cultural styles is a testament to the rich cultural diversity of the Rûm Sultanate and the broader Islamic world during the 13th century.
