I like figural Islamic coins. So I purchased this interesting Islamic Ae dirham? It measures 23.52 mm and weighs 4.0g (it has been holed). On the obverse is what appears to be a rider on a leopard or lion in an inset beaded circle surrounded by a caption. Could this be an issue of either the Artuqids of the Seljuk Sultans of Rum? All comments would appreciated in helping me identify this interesting coin. Pogh_poor

Most likely Ilkhanid fals as I can read the sultan's name of Ulijatue on obverse border.

Thank you for the help! I think that it is indeed a Ilkhanid fals issued by Uljaytu / Öljaitü. I think that it is:
