Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was struck after the assassination of the Abbasid al-Musta'sim, which suggests that it was minted during a time of political upheaval or transition. This could make it a unique and valuable piece for collectors interested in the history of the Artuqid dynasty or the broader context of the Middle East during the 13th century.
