This study examines three rare and important Seljug Coins that have a new unique pattern.

Their importance lies in the following aspects: 1.

Also, the name of the Seljug Sultan Rukn ed-Din Qilij Arslan IV Bin Kaikhusru (655-663 A.H.

- 1257-1264 A.D.).

is printed on them.

These coins gave full power to the Seljug Sultans to maintain their authorization to rule; an Abbasid authorization; that was given to them by the dead Abbasid Caliph, in order to keep their legitimacy until they find some one else to give it to them.

These coins show that the Seljug Sultan Rukn ed-Din Qilij Arslan IV did not acknowledge that the Abbassid Empire has fallen down, and, thus, give legitimacy to his money.
