Palouche Pillar of the Community Spain 2752 Posts	Posted 11/09/2019 4:06 pm Recent pick up that I've been trying to ID..So far I've found this.. Any help will be really appreciated thanks..Paul Seljuq of Rum Kaykhusraw III, minted AH 663 - 682 / AD 1265 - 1283. Silver dirhem..23mm diameter Obverse, al-mulk lillah, (Arabic, "All things belong to God"). Reverse, top line of script reads es-sultan el-azam (Arabic, "Very Mighty Sultan"). Middle line of script reads Ghiyas ed-dunya wa ed-din (Arabic, "Help of the world and the faith"). Bottom line of script gives the Sultan's name bin Kai-Qubad ("son of Kai-Qubad"). I dont know how accurate this is!?.. The closest I've found is this example on zeno https://www.zeno.ru/showphoto.php?photo=175783 Here they are together... Report this Post to the Staff

Kushanshah Pillar of the Community United States 1554 Posts	Posted 11/09/2019 10:00 pm Your reading is very close. Kaykhusraw III b. Qilij Arslan. Madinat Lu'lu'a mint, AH 664. Obv. margin: duriba bi-Madinat Lu'lu'a fi sanat arba' [wa] sittin [wa] sittmi'at (was struck in the City of Lu'lu'a in the year four [and] sixty [and] six hundred). Obv. center: al-mulk lillah (the kingdom [belongs] to God). Reverse: al-sultan al-a'zam (the sultan the very great)/ ghiyas al-dunya wa al-din (help of the world and of the faith)/ abu'l-fateh Kaikhusru (father of conquest Kaykhusraw)/ bin Qilij Arslan (son of Qilij Arslan). Compare here: https://www.zeno.ru/showphoto.php?photo=227292 The "extra letter" in your comparison is actually the tail of fateh from the line above.
