Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Tughtekin, who was the founder of the Burid dynasty and ruled from 1105 to 1128. The coin features an inscription in Arabic that includes the name of the ruler, the date of issue, and the mint location, which in this case is Baniyas. The use of Billon, a copper and silver alloy, was a common practice during this time period, and the weight of the coin, 4.01 grams, is consistent with other coins issued during this era.
