Ref.:Tim Wilkes (Spink): SS 42Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Nasir al-Din Artuq Arslan, who was the founder of the Artuqid dynasty and ruled from 1200 to 1239. The Artuqid dynasty was a Turkmen dynasty that ruled parts of Anatolia and Syria during the 13th century. The coin is made of copper and weighs 15.82 grams, which was a common weight for coins during that time period.
