| Obverse description | Crude hammered flan of irregular shape bearing a central Arabic inscription arranged in multiple lines within the field. The legend, struck in a bold and somewhat rustic Naskh-style script, occupies the majority of the obverse surface. The striking is uneven, characteristic of provincial Anatolian Seljuk copper coinage, with portions of the legend weakly impressed near the margins. |

| Additional information |
Kaykhusraw III inherited the Rûm Sultanate as a child after the Battle of Köse Dağ had already broken Seljuk independence, leaving the sultanate a Mongol vassal state in all but name. Real authority rested with the Mongol ilkhans and their appointed pervaneh, Mu'in al-Din Süleyman, who effectively governed Anatolia throughout this reign. Copper fals of this period circulated in local markets largely outside the prestige economy of silver dirhams issued under Mongol supervision.
