† ISLAMIC COINS. RUM SELJUQ. Kaykawus II (first reign 643-647h, second reign 655-658h), Gold Presentation Dinar, without mint name, undated, 4.20g. Good very fine and very rare.
The names of the Sultan Kaykawus II appear on the obverse and that of the Abbasid Caliph al-Musta'sim on the reverse of this Dinar. It is an unpublished piece that is unusual in that it lacks both mint name and date, which suggests that it was intended for presentation to members of the Sultan's court. It is uncertain to which of the two reigns of Kaykawus the coin belongs as al-Musta'sim was on the throne during both.
Estimate: £3500-4000
