Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued by the Artuqid dynasty, which was a Turkmen dynasty that ruled in the 12th and 13th centuries in the region of Mardin, which is now in modern-day Turkey. The Artuqid dynasty was known for its rich cultural and artistic heritage, and this coin is a reflection of that, with its intricate designs and calligraphy.
