    Hey guys,
    Being very much a newbie with medieval coins, I need some knowledgeable help in attributing these two. What I know so far is Seljuqs of Rum, somewhere in the 12-13th century and denomination is dirham. They also appear to be two different varieties with one having dots and the other crescents between the lion's legs. First one also has reverse legends in a square cartouche while the second does not. Both are weakly struck, which I am guessing is normal for these.
    Greatly appreciate any more specific attribution info, thanks!

    If I recall correctly, the coins with the lion and sunface were only issued during the reign of Kaykhusraw II from 1237 to 1246 AD.
