Interesting fact
The Danishmendid dynasty, which issued this coin, was a Turkish dynasty that ruled over a region in modern-day Turkey and Syria during the 12th century. The name "Danishmend" means "holder of faith" in Persian, reflecting the dynasty's Islamic roots. Despite their relatively short rule, the Danishmendids left a lasting legacy in the region, including the construction of many important buildings and infrastructure projects.
