Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Fals - Kayka'us II ND (1246-1260) coin 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 of the Sultan, Kayka'us 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 during that time. This blending of cultural elements is a testament to the rich cultural diversity of the Rûm Sultanate and the broader Islamic world during the 13th century.
