Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Nur al-Din Arslanshah II, who was a prominent leader of the Zengid dynasty, which was a powerful Turkish dynasty that ruled over much of the Middle East and Anatolia during the 12th and 13th centuries. The coin's design and inscriptions reflect the cultural and religious influences of the time, and its gold content makes it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
