Ref.:Tim Wilkes (Spink): SS 65Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of 'Izz al-din Mas'ud II, who was the son of the founder of the Zengid dynasty, and was known for his military campaigns against the Crusader states and his efforts to unify the Muslim territories in the region.
