Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Fals - Mas'ud II (Face type) ND (1284-1296) from Rûm Sultanate made of Copper is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Mongolian influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the inscription "Al-Sultanu al-Azam" (The Great Sultan) in Arabic, 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 the 13th century. This blending of cultural styles is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Rûm Sultanate, which was known for its artistic and cultural achievements during its time.
