Ref.: S/S, 19; Edhem, 20-22; Butak, 18; Artuk, 1213Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Rukn al-Din Mawdud, who was the founder of the Artuqid dynasty, which was a Turkmen dynasty that ruled parts of Anatolia and the Middle East during the 12th and 13th centuries. The coin features an inscription in Arabic that includes the name of the ruler and the date of issue, which is 621 AH (1224 AD). This coin is made of copper and weighs 10.16 grams, which was a common weight for coins of this denomination during that time period.
