| Reverse description | The reverse presents an entirely epigraphic design, with the field filled by multiple horizontal registers of Arabic inscription in Naskh script, enclosed within a plain border and an outer dotted rim. The legend records the names of Kilij Arslan and Kayqubad ibn Kaykhusraw, followed by the mint statement 'struck at Sivas' (darb bi-Siwas) and the hijri date 647, corresponding to approximately AD 1249–1250. The deeply impressed, bold lettering is characteristic of the joint-reign coinage of the three Seljuk co-sultans of Rûm. The coin's slightly irregular flan is typical of hand-hammered production at Anatolian mints of this period. |
