| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse bears a central Arabic legend arranged in four lines within the field, conveying the ruler's titles and the declaration of faith (shahada). The mint name and the Hijri date are inscribed in the marginal legend, arranged in a square cartouche framing the central text. The epigraphy is in a standard Kufic-influenced style typical of Seljuq of Rum silver dirhams of the mid-thirteenth century. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Lion and Sun type was struck at Kaykhusraw II's behest following his controversial marriage to the Georgian princess Gürcü Hatun, whose astrological birth sign — Leo rising under the sun — is the most widely accepted explanation for the imagery's sudden appearance on Rûm Seljuq coinage in the late 1230s. The type marked a sharp departure from the purely epigraphic tradition of earlier Anatolian Islamic silver.
By the time these Siwas dirhams were struck in 1240–41, the Mongol advance was already reshaping the political calculus of the sultanate. Köse Dağ was just two years away.
