| Additional information |
Mas'ud II ruled the Sultanate of Rum as a Mongol client, his authority repeatedly interrupted — he was deposed, restored, deposed again, and restored once more across a reign fractured by Ilkhanid interference. Copper fals of this period circulated in an Anatolia that had been administratively absorbed into the Ilkhanate after Köse Dağ in 1243, meaning local coinage served a population navigating two overlapping political systems simultaneously.
The KM# 204.1 designation distinguishes this face type from parallel issues struck under the same reign, a series complicated by the multiple interruptions to Mas'ud II's rule.
