Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Fals - Kayka'us II ND (1246-1249) coin from Rûm Sultanate is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Mongolian influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features a stylized representation of the Mongolian emperor, Kayka'us II, while the reverse side bears the inscription "Al-Sultanu al-Azam" (The Greatest Sultan) in Arabic, indicating the coin's use in the Islamic world. This blending of cultural influences reflects the complex history of the Rûm Sultanate, which was established by the Seljuk Turks in the 11th century and later came under Mongolian rule.
