Anatolia opened its doors to Turks after the Manzikert Battle on 1071. The first Turkish principalities in Anatolia and Seigniories established by Muslim Turkish tribes settled to these lands after Anatolian Seljuq Empire was destroyed and the coins that these seigniories strike, constitute the subject of our work.Coins are important sources certificates the accuracy of historical events according to the written sources, exact start date of the emperors? reigns, titles that the emperors use, their religious believes and name and titles given to the cities.General historical data related to this period, which is named as the period of Seigniories, is insufficient. Available works related to the coins belong to this period are not in sufficient level. In our work, we searched and analyzed also museums and special collections except available publishing for the coins that Muslim Turkish governments and seigniories, who lived in Anatolia, had strike. We tried to grade the written information on the coins by classifying under three titles. These are; the titles used by Sultans, prayers and titles given to the cities.Coins of seigniories are examined in a different point of view, common and different expressions, which are used, are determined and their meanings are assigned by this work. Languages used in the coins of seigniories period are; Arabic and Persian. There is no common expression in the spellings and meanings of the words on the coins in a lot of publishing of numismatic area and also no errors are found. By our work, we hope to remove the mentioned insufficiency of numismatic area.
