SELJUQ OF RUM: Kayqubad III, 1298-1302, AR dirham (1.97g), Sarukavak, AH699, A-1235.1, Izm-1497 (same dies), superb example, choice Extremely Fine, RR. Izmerlier interprets the date as AH700, reading the first section as sab' for 7 and the second part as a coarsely engraved mi'a for "hundred". I am more inclined to read the first part as tis' for 9 and the second part as a shortened form of tis'in for 90, where the engraver ran out of space to finish the date. Either might be correct!
