SS 36Interesting 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 Islamic influence on the Artuqid dynasty. Additionally, the fact that it is made of copper and weighs 10.6 grams suggests that it was a widely used coin for everyday transactions.
