Fulus of Sulayman Shah, with Horseman right and Kufic legend c. 12th century

Curator: This is a Fulus of Sulayman Shah, depicting a horseman and bearing a Kufic legend. Editor: It looks like a tiny, worn portal to another time, doesn't it? All that history imprinted on something so small. Curator: Exactly. These coins offer tangible links to Rukn ad-Din Sulayman Shah and the political and economic landscape of his era. The iconography is key. Editor: You can almost feel the weight of the kingdom in your palm. It's grounding, isn't it? To hold something so old, that's survived so much. Curator: It certainly invites reflection on legacy, power, and the enduring presence of the past. Editor: I just imagine all the hands it's passed through, all the stories it could tell. Makes you think about your own place in the chain. Curator: Precisely. Coins like this are poignant reminders of power structures. Editor: Definitely makes you wonder who benefits. Anyway, I love how it makes you dream of other times. Curator: Indeed, the Fulus of Sulayman Shah holds the key to unlocking the past.
