675, briefly seizing the city of Konya. Their uprising lasted only a few months, and Siyawush was quickly defeated by the Mongols. Siyawush, whose actual same was Cimri, was then executed. His coins were struck at mints in Konya and Lu'lu'a (Lulue), but the dies for all the coins of Konya and most of Lu'lu'a were of such distinctive style that they must have been engraved by local jewelers with little die-cutting experience. ,Silver AR , very fine.
