Note: Ghiyath al-Din Kay Khusraw II bin Kay Qubadh was a ruler of the Seljuks of Rum, who reigned during a tumultuous period in Anatolian history. His reign was characterized by both internal struggles and external conflicts with neighboring states. The Sivas Mint, located in present-day Turkey, was one of the principal mints of the Seljuks of Rum. Coins minted there played a crucial role in facilitating trade and commerce within the empire’s territories.
