Additional information

Kaykhusraw I's first reign was cut short when his brother Süleymanshah II seized the Seljuk throne of Rûm in 1196, forcing him into exile at the Byzantine court in Constantinople — an unusual refuge that speaks to the fluid political relationships along the Anatolian frontier. He would not recover the sultanate until 1205. Copper fals of this period circulated in local markets largely invisible to the dynastic turbulence above them, struck for the bazaars of Konya and Sivas while the succession crisis unfolded.
