| Reverse description | Within a square border, the central field bears the honorific titles of the Ilkhan Uljaytu (Khudabanda Muhammad) in Arabic script. The marginal legend surrounding the square contains the names of the four Rightly Guided Caliphs (al-Rashidun) — Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman, and Ali — arranged one to each side, a formula characteristic of Ilkhanid copper coinage of this period. |

| Additional information |
Uljaytu's reign saw the Ilkhanate's administrative apparatus reach deep into Anatolia, where Artuqid client rulers continued striking copper in the name of their Mongol overlords. This piece is a product of that arrangement — a local fals acknowledging Ilkhanid suzerainty rather than being struck at a central mint. Uljaytu himself converted to Twelver Shia Islam in 1310, a politically charged move that alienated Sunni subjects and briefly reshaped the theological framing of official coinage before he reversed course under pressure.
