Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Fals - Mas'ud II (Sun 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 features a stylized representation of the sun, which was a common motif in Mongolian coinage, while the reverse side features a depiction of the Sultan Mas'ud II, along with an inscription in Arabic that reads "al-Sultanu al-Azam Mas'ud bin Kaykavus" (The Great Sultan Mas'ud, son of Kaykavus). This blending of styles reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred during the period of Mongolian rule over the Rûm Sultanate.
