Comment
- citing caliph al-Nasir -Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Kayqubad I, who was the Seljuk Sultan of Rum from 1220 to 1237. During his reign, Kayqubad I made significant reforms to the coinage system, including the introduction of new denominations and the use of different metals, such as copper, silver, and gold. This particular coin, the Fals, was one of the denominations introduced during his reign and was widely used for everyday transactions. Despite its small weight of 2.5 grams, it played an important role in the economy of the time.
