He assumed the title of Malik, signifying his authority as a sovereign ruler. The coin’s design, featuring a horseman, is characteristic of Seljuq coinage and reflects the importance of equestrian culture in medieval Islamic society. Such imagery often symbolized military strength and authority. The AE Dirham denomination was commonly used in trade and commerce during this period. These coins typically featured Islamic calligraphy and geometric patterns, reflecting the artistic and cultural influences of the time.
