Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of al-Salih Salih II, who was a prominent leader of the Artuqid dynasty, which was a Turkmen dynasty that ruled parts of Anatolia and Syria in the 12th to 15th centuries. The coin's design and inscriptions reflect the cultural and religious influences of the time, and its copper composition was a common material used for coinage in the region during that period.
