Seljuq Sultan of Rum Silver Dirham Kaykhusraw III- 670 AH / 1271 AD
House of Emirates® in London is thrilled to offer its elite clientele this superb Seljuq Sultanate of Rum silver dirham, struck during the reign of Sultan Kaykhusraw III at the prestigious Konya mint in 670 AH / 1271 AD. Weighing approximately 2.97 grams and measuring 23 mm in diameter, this remarkable medieval Islamic coin represents a fascinating chapter in the history of Anatolia and the Seljuq Sultanate of Rum.
Kaykhusraw III was Sultan of Rum during a period of significant political transformation in Anatolia. The Seljuq Sultanate of Rum, heir to the great Seljuq expansion into Asia Minor, had established Konya as its political and cultural centre. By the late 13th century, however, the Sultanate was increasingly influenced by the Mongol Ilkhanid power that dominated much of the region.
Coins struck during the reign of Kaykhusraw III therefore provide a tangible connection to this fascinating period when Seljuq royal authority, Persian-Islamic culture and Mongol influence intersected.
Struck at the Konya mint in 670 AH / 1271 AD, this silver dirham carries the historical importance of an authentic medieval currency that circulated during the final generations of Seljuq rule in Anatolia. Konya was the heart of the Seljuq Sultanate of Rum and became renowned as a centre of commerce, scholarship, architecture and Islamic culture. The city was also closely associated with the flourishing intellectual and spiritual traditions of medieval Anatolia. This Seljuq silver dirham therefore connects its owner directly to one of the most remarkable periods in the history of the region.
With a weight of 2.97 grams and a substantial 23 mm diameter, the coin provides an impressive physical representation of Seljuq silver coinage. Its superb condition further enhances its appeal, preserving the character and craftsmanship associated with medieval Islamic minting. Every surviving coin from this period represents a tangible fragment of a world that existed more than seven centuries ago.
For investors in ancient and historic assets, this Seljuq silver dirham offers far more than precious metal. It represents a physical link to 13th-century Anatolia, the Seljuq dynasty, the medieval Islamic monetary system and the extraordinary history of Konya. Authentic Seljuq coins are particularly compelling historical assets for those seeking rare Islamic coins, medieval silver coins, Anatolian antiquities and tangible treasures with deep historical provenance.
This superb 670 AH / 1271 AD Seljuq Silver dirham of Sultan Kaykhusraw III is an exceptional opportunity to own a genuine piece of medieval Anatolian history. From the Konya mint to the silver in which it was struck, every characteristic of this remarkable coin reflects the legacy of the Seljuq Sultanate of Rum and its enduring place in the history of the Islamic world.
