Comment
This type was imitated by Salih Şemseddin artukid ruler of Mardin. Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Sati Beg, a powerful queen who ruled the Chupanid puppet state of Ilkhanate in the 14th century. She was known for her intelligence, political acumen, and her efforts to promote trade and commerce in the region. The coin itself is made of silver and weighs 2.16 grams, making it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
