SS 33Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Husam al-Din Yuluq Arslan, who was the ruler of the Artuqid dynasty, a Turkmen dynasty that ruled parts of Anatolia and Syria in 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 an indication of the cultural and religious influences of the time. Additionally, the fact that it was made of copper and weighs 12.47 grams suggests that it was a widely used and practical coin for everyday transactions.
