Help for Sultanate of Rûm silver dirham.

[gallienus1]

This silver dirham is from the Sultanate of Rûm, which was located in central Anatolia. It was struck by the Sultan Kaykhusraw between 1236 and 1245 AD.  I am spectacularly unfamiliar with the coinage of the Sultanate and possess no reference material on it. I'm not even sure if I have the photographed the inscription right way up! Although I understand it translates as something like- 'Great Sultan, Help of the World and of the Faith Kaykhusraw'.

But it was one of those things. Once i saw it I just had to have it! 

I'm posting it here in the Medieval, Islamic and Crusader forum in the hope some members may know of any references for it.

Thank you, Pekka K!

I've posted it on Coin Of The Day, so I'll have to add a post explaining that I photographed it upside down!

Thank you, Jan P for all the extra information and reference.

I know much more about it now.
