As a governor, he was responsible for the administration of the region under the broader authority of the Seljuq Sultanate of Rum. The AE Fals coins minted in Tokat during Sulayman II’s tenure typically featured the horseman motif, which symbolized the military prowess and authority of the Seljuq rulers. These coins were widely circulated within the region and served as a medium of exchange for commercial transactions.
