Comments

Attributed to possibly two of three brothers (Kayka’us II, Qilij Arslan IV & ‘Ala al-Din Kayqubad II), 647-657 / 1249-1259 Kayqubad II did not issue any coins of his own.

  • Kayka'us II is also known as (AKA) 'Izz al-Din Kayka'us II (reign or ruled 1246–1260)
  • Qilij Arslan IV is AKA Rukn al-Din Kilij Arslan IV (r. 1248–1265)
  • 'Ala al-Din Kayqubad II (r. 1249–1257)

Their father, Giyath al-Din Kaykhusraw II, died in 1246. The sultanate split between the three brothers until 1260, when Arslan IV was the sole ruler.
